Vehicle registrations (was '0207 008 0000')
Jack Taylor ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :
The logic is to use the last two digits of the year for Mar-Aug
registrations, ditto plus 50 for Sep-Dec, and the same code for Jan &
Feb of the following year. So Mar-Aug 2011 will be 11 and Sep 2011
to Feb 2012 will be 61. This formula will be valid until 28 Feb
2051, the last two 6-month periods using the codes 50 and 00.
Thanks Richard, Neil, Annabel and others for clearing that up (sorry
for the delay in responding, I've been away over the Christmas/New
Year period). I'd clearly been incorrectly informed about the
third/fourth digit structure. As it was explained to me at the time
the third digit would *always* be 0 or 5, dependant upon month of
registration, and the fourth digit would always be the last digit of
the year - hence my confusion! Obviously I was misinformed.
