vehicle registration mark (it's not a number as it also has letters in it) That what they call it when we're dishing out pcns anyway. 😀

My immediate response is to say, who gives a toss? My car plate is blurred, but what does it matter? Hundreds of people see my car every day walking and driving past my house, and it's picked up on CCTV no end of times when I'm driving around. I've been looking at StreetView tonight on my phone, and even when you tap in an exact address the view starts at some random point, so you have to know exactly which house you're looking for, which is tricky if you're unsure. I looked for a friend's house up in Benwick, Cambridgeshire. I've only ever been there once, and I've been all along the road and don't recognise the house, as I think the front garden has been changed, so all this panicky 'big brother's spying on us' is just pathetic paranoia.
