london box

Inner London motorway system planned in the 1970s but never built (hence the horrendous jams today). Term can be used for any worthwhile government project that never materialises, such as the often touted "Birmingham underground" system.

The government will never build an underground system in Birmingham. It will be just like the London Box. Maybe there was a deal in the 1960s that Birmingham will get reasonable roads and London will get reasonable trains.

number plate

Identifying plates fitted to vehicles in the UK (and elsewhere), carrying the vehicle's registration number.
Similar to License plate, Registration plate etc.

In the UK the reg. no. belongs to the vehicle, not the driver, and contains information about the age of the vehicle and the region in which it was first sold. The system is administered by the DVLA.

The reg. number is alphanumeric, and takes the form AB12 CDE on vehicles registered after 2001, or A123 BCD on vehicles registered before 2001.

Some scouse git has stolen my number plates. Now I will be done by the police.

M6

Longest (and normally busiest) motorway in the UK. Runs between Rugby (where it joins the M1 to London, and the Scottish border near Carlisle. The road continues (under the number M74) to Glasgow.
The road passes through the major industrial conurbations of the West Midlands (Birmingham) and the North West (Liverpool and Manchester).

The West Midland section (previously the busiest stretch of road in Europe, incorporating spaghetti junction) was bypassed in 2003 by the UK's first toll motorway, the M6 toll.

'There's a severe jam on the M6'
