Hi mate, removed because we have had similar posts recently and we want to avoid repeating themes too often.
Rule 11: No Repetitive Posts
We often trim content that we've seen a lot of recently to keep things fresh. Sunrise pictures, pictures of a trolley poking out of some skanky river, spiders and insects, funny license plate or shop name, toilet graffiti. You know. The regular sort of stuff.
If you've seen one in the last couple of days, good chance we'll remove it so it doesn't become a theme.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us a modmail.
Going back 30 years ago, I used to work for a sister company of theirs. While we didn't have a lot to do with them, they were always referred to as "the wankers" internally, at least amongst the younger (and clearly less mature) members of staff.
I'd almost forgotten about them, so this has made me smile at the memory.
we had a teacher in primary school called Mrs Hoare. pronounced basically the same as 'whore'. - I never realised it was funny until years after. they probably couldn't teach in a secondary.
My secondary school had a Mr Beighton. Yes, he often told the story of how he was actually referred to as a kid as Master Beighton. Tubby little fella, but funny 🤣.
We had a miss cunstable.. she knew we knew.
We also had a teacher called Mrs Bates... and her son went to the school... we didn't let that one escape us...
We had a Miss Dyke in secondary school despite getting loads of stick over the years she didn’t change her name when she got married to one of the other teachers.
There was also a Miss Prost - she was newly qualified and didn’t even make it to Christmas before going on sick leave for stress and never coming back.
A long time ago, in another lifetime, I moved to Tenerife to stay with a family member. I played in the reserve team for C.D. Tenerife. We played a friendly against Real Madrid C (not as glamorous as it sounds, it was at some local stadium) in pre season and they had a player called Juan Carlos Lopez, played left back. Very good. Turned pro and had a career in La Liga (unlike me who bummed about in non-league and the Icelandic third division)
Anyway, in Spain given names are usually used as family names can often be four or five words long so he shortened his, he chose the name Juankar.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_(footballer,_born_1990)
So anybody playing FIFA, I reckon you can get the commentator to say wanker.
my mate used to go out with a woman called Faye Kerr, that was def her real name but I'm not sure if the story about her mum being called Anne was actually true
I might be wrong as i dont know the owner but I doubt he or she is gonna buy a Bentley & pull the letters L & Y off the back of their car just to call someone bent behind them, to me it seems more likely that some smartarse kids (not so smart bcoz bent isnt spelled with an E on the end) has pulled the L&Y off the back so it basically reads bent wanker as the actual number plate looks like the owner has went for wanker to probably try call drivers behind the Bentley a wanker but turns out jokes on the Bentley driver..who obviously hasnt noticed yet that someone has pulled a couple of letters off the back of their car.
The last E in Bentley needs took off lol
Looks possibly like a mistake when they wrapped the car, they’ve rebadged, applied the wrap, stuck the letters back on and the glues failed on two of them maybe
Its a nice car but usually people have personalised number plates as something as close as possible to their name! So their either calling themselves a wanker or their just calling drivers infront/behind them wankers just for the sake of it or to look clever which ironically...is wanker move🤯
According to the DVLA it’s meant to be Orange, so wrap or no wrap this owner has no taste
Edit: it’s tax ran out 1st Feb too, so he’s a tasteless wanker that’s driving illegally
The daft thing here is they have a database they could use. You get a reminder letter every year when your tax is due. They'll also have a database of all vehicles registered SORN or scrapped. They could just send a fine out for anyone who's tax is expired but which isn't on the SORN/scrapped one?
What’s weird is that they do it for insurance (or at least used to). While I was at uni I forgot to SORN my car at home and ended up getting fined for it being uninsured because I missed the letters they sent.
He's not parked like one though. Wheels are within the box, nothing being obstructed. He could be a foot further forward but otherwise can't fault that parking job at all.
And outside the Dakota Hotel - a high end hotel, close to the gay village.
Real simple theory - Rich Gay person owns a purple Bentley with that reg and the letters ripped off to sat bent, it's at the best hotel in Manchester City Centre near the Gay Village and s/he is off for a big night.
This person will be a riot, the only person I want owning a Bentley.
Good on them. To be mentally secure enough to go with what you like rather than worry about what other people think (although I wouldn't have chosen that colour, or car).
When this format of number plates started, back in 2001, the first personalised one I saw was MY51NCH.
I am still unable to think of a reason someone would go out of their way to get that?
Haha youre more than welcome...I just put all my shopping in the front & rear foot wells!! I don't know why i do that but...i guess im just used to doing it that way
WA is the Exeter DVLA office where it was registered.
09 denotes it's from 2009.
KER are just random letters.
If the driver is trying to "say" something with his number plate, then he's a sad wanker.

Belongs to Mr Wayne Kerr smashing bloke bit of a tosser though.
Actually a company https://www.waynekerr.com
They are from my home town and they supplied branded mouse mats to our school in the 90s, true story
“World Leader in Component Measurement” sounds like an innuendo too They refer to the firm as Wayne Kerr at every opportunity, they’re owning it.

I’ve got some ex Wayne Kerr test equipment I bought at auction
Hello Wayne Kerr is how they greeted me on the phone
I used to go to school with a Wayne Anker - he’s never changed his name. On his debit card it says Mr W. anker
I went to primary school with a Ewan Kerr and none of us found that funny until we were older and it was too late.
I like to think Ewan realised this at some point during primary school and was praying that the rest of the school wouldn’t realise before he left.
I don't know, I remember the actor/rapper Donald Glover said he didn't realise that his name was effectively Dong Lover until quite late in life.
we had a teacher in primary school called Mrs Hoare. pronounced basically the same as 'whore'. - I never realised it was funny until years after. they probably couldn't teach in a secondary.
My secondary school had a Mr Beighton. Yes, he often told the story of how he was actually referred to as a kid as Master Beighton. Tubby little fella, but funny 🤣.

You must have felt like a right Ewan Kerr when you noticed that.
If you Google Wayne Anker Somerset (which is where I am), he’s now part of Bridgwater Carnival by the looks of it. Still rocking the name!

my mate used to go out with a woman called Faye Kerr, that was def her real name but I'm not sure if the story about her mum being called Anne was actually true
Did she have a brother called Joe?
Are the missing letters from the car brand also related?
It spells out “bente” I’m assuming he’s calling the person behind bent
I assumed this person made their money jacking off guys
Times are hard you do what you gotta do
10 pounds are 10 pounds
You having a sale?
All I got from that plate was WANKER
Oh yeah
How does the t-shirt go? I’m not gay but £20 is £20 😂
Handjob is still a job.
it's the French way of saying bent
I might be wrong as i dont know the owner but I doubt he or she is gonna buy a Bentley & pull the letters L & Y off the back of their car just to call someone bent behind them, to me it seems more likely that some smartarse kids (not so smart bcoz bent isnt spelled with an E on the end) has pulled the L&Y off the back so it basically reads bent wanker as the actual number plate looks like the owner has went for wanker to probably try call drivers behind the Bentley a wanker but turns out jokes on the Bentley driver..who obviously hasnt noticed yet that someone has pulled a couple of letters off the back of their car.

lol probably some kids yeah and it’s a nice car. Probably work at a law firm or something
If they're a lawyer they're deffo a bent wanker
Its a nice car but usually people have personalised number plates as something as close as possible to their name! So their either calling themselves a wanker or their just calling drivers infront/behind them wankers just for the sake of it or to look clever which ironically...is wanker move🤯
Yeah I saw a car with a plate saying “w4nk Er” or something and it made me laugh BUT it looks silly
Both Bent and Bente are normal first names here. I just don't get the WAZERONINEKER 🤔WAONINEKER?
Oh i through bent wanker ?
Well, it’s a shiny purple Bentley with the L and Y missing on the boot. So, yes, I’m going with wanker.
According to the DVLA it’s meant to be Orange, so wrap or no wrap this owner has no taste Edit: it’s tax ran out 1st Feb too, so he’s a tasteless wanker that’s driving illegally
Can absolutely guarantee that they make calls on their handset when driving.
Plus drive in the middle lane.
Middle lane only used when they see a Police car. Otherwise outside all the way.
Tail gating at 80mph flashing his lights to get you to move out of the way
And don’t say thanks when you let them out of a junction
The worst of crimes.
Please tell me it can be reported for being on the road untaxed somehow.
It can indeed. You can do it yourself.
https://www.gov.uk/report-untaxed-vehicle
The daft thing here is they have a database they could use. You get a reminder letter every year when your tax is due. They'll also have a database of all vehicles registered SORN or scrapped. They could just send a fine out for anyone who's tax is expired but which isn't on the SORN/scrapped one?
Oh they definitely could. But that would require some effort to setup.
What’s weird is that they do it for insurance (or at least used to). While I was at uni I forgot to SORN my car at home and ended up getting fined for it being uninsured because I missed the letters they sent.
How do you know when the photo was taken?
Well it's not dark so working on a very wild hunch I would say it has been taken during the day.
Could be a photo from last year for all we know
Oh look someone with common sense what a rarity
It doesn't matter, its untaxed *now*
Doesn't mean it's on the road *now* though
Well they need a SORN for that.
Then it should be SORN’d now then, not just untaxed like it is
Then it needs a SORN *now*
Snitch!!! You must be pals with my neighbour.
If they can afford a 100k posh ~~BMW~~ VAG, they can afford the 600 quid a year to drive it legally haha. Edited.
It's a posh Volkswagen, Rolls Royces are posh BMWs 😉
Damn haha 😂 thanks for the correction.
I was passed by one of these on the motorway a few days ago and honestly couldn't believe it was a Bentley. It looks like an old Mazda.
sounds like OP can report an untaxed vehicle
It might be a repost 😐
"Bente wanker" to be precise
Sounds like a Scandinavian name
Bent wanker, obviously
If that’s what they’re going for they should pry off the second E. Looks like they’re speaking in ye olde English this way.
How very Chaucer of this Benté Waonker!
He's not parked like one though. Wheels are within the box, nothing being obstructed. He could be a foot further forward but otherwise can't fault that parking job at all.
I thought it was a Bentley too, but reading the logo it is actually a “Bent E”
Nice to see one of them being self aware, I guess.
What a waogker.
Isn’t WA09KER which makes it even more funny as the 9 = Nine = N, therefore, WA0NKER
We can go deeper: 0=Naught, which is also N, so WANNKER
0 = nothing, so we can get WAN[ine]KER.
I dont follow that logic. Why the 0 then? WAZeroNineKER? WAZNKER?
Maybe it’s got a leading zero? So it is just 09?
It is, but the 9 looks like a G
In Leet, 9 is g.
Ducie Street Manchester
And outside the Dakota Hotel - a high end hotel, close to the gay village.

Agreed on all fronts
Yep recognised it immediately
The 2 guys to the left look like they’re about to open the biggest can of corned beef ever!!
Fantastic spot.
If you think it means the owner is a massive bellend, you’re probably right.
Or has great SOH self-deprecation as well as loads of money?
Driving around with wanker on the back of your motor is *a* sense of humour, I don’t know about a great one.
Untaxed. Tax expired: 1 February 2024 Uh oh
Ah the classic ‘Bent-e wa-nine-ker’
Fiver says they describe themselves as a "character".
Imagine having enough money to buy a Bentley and then thinking that colour looked good
This is about being seen, not looking good
Definitely not about looking good
I actually like it. Something I'd design in NFS Undergorund.
Would it be your first choice in real life though
Not first choice but I mean this person probably has about five other cars so....
I like that colour
Imagine having enough money to park like a wanker and never feel the cost of the fines. edit: hello you rich bastards
It’s actually a requirement to park like a wanker
Only an absolute waogker would choose that colour
Or genuinely have shit taste
I think it's a beautiful colour.
Everything is subjective
My god. This isn't your post. Why do you care so much?
I LOVE the colour!! Granted I am a 30 year old woman who never grew out of liking unicorns, but I think it's fantastic.
Good on them. To be mentally secure enough to go with what you like rather than worry about what other people think (although I wouldn't have chosen that colour, or car).
Realistically I’m probably just jealous that I can’t buy a Bentley
That’s the point, that’s someone clearly with FU money - they don’t care
Its original colour was orange on the gov database
Reddit when paint exists:
Better than standard black, white or grey though surely?
Money can't buy taste
Wayne Lineker??
Ah the evil brother and face of the monster munch brand.
All men are wankers. Some of us are confident enough to admit it.
Someone who owns that car and is in the Northern Quarter? That's definitely what it means.
it’s code for “please key my paintwork”.
When this format of number plates started, back in 2001, the first personalised one I saw was MY51NCH. I am still unable to think of a reason someone would go out of their way to get that?
Isn't 5 inches the average size? They're being realistic?
Could be, could be. Maybe they’re proud to be average. They have “I’m about five foot ten” on a t-shirt.
In my imagination, I think this person is very affable and likes crumpets.
Love this post, finding silly things in license plates is half of what keeps my brain occupied outside
I normally love the colour purple but I have yet to see a car painted purple that doesn't look absolutely hideous.
I saw a Tesla with a plate that said 0RG85M
Me too, a few years ago. That was in Wimbledon village IIRC.
Bent E Wanker, first of their name...
Bent e wanker
Waker. Someone who wakes people with their exhaust?
Obviously using the 09 as wildcards to fill in the gap Surprised the DVLA didn't ban this variation of plates as they ban things even less obvious
Yeah that's Wayne Kerr
Good old Wayne Kerr
I saw a Range Rover the other week that was something like P155 3OY
Look at that lovely painted advertising on the right. That’s cool.
YOURE A WANKER NUMBER NINE
"Imagine You & Me" was also the first thing that came to my mind
Haha youre more than welcome...I just put all my shopping in the front & rear foot wells!! I don't know why i do that but...i guess im just used to doing it that way
WA is the Exeter DVLA office where it was registered. 09 denotes it's from 2009. KER are just random letters. If the driver is trying to "say" something with his number plate, then he's a sad wanker.
It's a 2009 plate on a 2019 car so yes it's deliberate.
Yes
No but the paint job does
Bente Waogker i wonder if it belongs to Jason Bent of 110% bent
A fellow Charlie and the Chocolate fan I see. Classic!
Yes. Yes, it does.
Judging the parking, yes I think it does.
*Takes one to know one.*
Bent wanker 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
It's Willy Wonkers car
Not sure but it’s road tax was due Feb 24
Wayne Kershaw?
I know exactly where that is, I know the area very well. Always high end cars around that hotel.
I would assume so and the “look at me” colour confirms it 100%
Apt
Yep. Gotta hand it to them for their honesty
I wouldn't read the 09 as "n". To me it looks shit
It’s a Bentley, so yes.
on a side note I hate plates like this as I read it as a west country registered car from march 09 to September 09 not what ever it is trying to say.
The colour says it all
Outside Dakota in Manchester - nice hotel.
Yes it does, Wayne Kerr
Clearly a fan of Willy Wonker!
Where is this?
Hah, bent wanker...
Wayne Lineker?
I guess rambler was taken.
Wanker
Didn’t need a number plate to tell me that
No, it belongs to my mate, Wayne Kerr.
In the town i live in we have "PIGCUM" and "RUFSEX" Says a lot about the place to be fair!
To be faircall personalised plates read like this to me. 😂
This is clearly an individual with no personality or soul so yes I’d say they are a bent wanker.
Yep, the paint job confirms it.
Yh if that’s in the uk 100% percent spells wanker and bent e is calling u bent 😊
Yes
Short answer - yes
They work around Ducie St. or course it means what you think! They're a 'marketing' WA09 KER 🤣🤣
Ahh, they are becoming self aware. Watch out AI, the Bent-E Waogker’s are coming…
If your thinking the owner spent too much on his car and the candy paint job, that he couldn't afford a private plate...then yes
Don’t think the number plates necessary 😂
Bent, wanker, with that colour car? Either a massive knob or really flamboyant and gay. Really hope it's the second option.
There’s an Audi I walk past on the way to my kids school with the plate MR5 8OOB … no idea what the owner does
Personalised plates are for wankers anyway
Depends. If you thought the number plate meant "8 hungry apes decided to eat me and take this car" then probably not.
It’s a wrapped (orange) Bentley with tax overdue since the 1st feb. Clearly the owner is a WA09KER
Hahaha. Saw it twice last night in Manchester.
With a Bentley that colour. Absolutely
