My Long Haired General has A 14 ULE... With a little fiddling, it reads "A MULE".
I did see a lorry carrying Polo Ponies with something like P5 NAY on the plate, made me chuckle. That would be a few hundred quid to buy, pop it in the for sale section in Horse and Hounds and get a couple of grand for it.
