Alnwick Castle, England

A very nice castle.

The interior is stunning and currently appears in the Downton Abbey series. It´s forbidden to take pictures inside the castle.

Some scenes of the Harry Potter movie were filmed in the courtyard.

Why do we say that? Because they transform almost all successful movie into a musical.

Incredible business in the UK - trading of car registration numbers

While in London we found out about a very lucrative business operated in the UK: trading of car registration numbers.

Due to the fact the the UK numbers are made of more letters than numbers, some numbers can be interpreted as having a meaning: be it a name, an activity, an adjective, etc.

Not only that an entire business was developed all over the UK, the prices asked for some of the most valuable car plates is very, very high

For example:

JONES - GBP 100,000 (one hundred thousand)

RUBIN - GBP 33,000

SMITH - GBP 35,000

So, if you're not happy with your regular Luxembourg number, and you have money to spend, register your car in UK with a number you fancy...
