TELEPHONE firm boss Tony Raynor has been taking an interest in numbers of a different kind of late. Tony, who runs Blackburn-based Abbey Telecom, has been compiling a list of local businesses which have personalised number plates. For example, the one on Tony's top of the range Subaru is Rl ISDN Ð representing the Integrated Services Digital Network Technology rapidly becoming vital for business. At Independent Telephone Services the managing director's car has Al 4EXT (....ensions geddit?) and ACME Tool Hire of Blackburn has HllRER. And you don't have to be that smart to work out what Michael Holroyd does for a living the Toyota four-wheel drive outside his surgery on Preston New Road reads VET. Just across the road at Europrint and Barry Kilby's Jaguar Has KiLBY on the plate. So intrigued is Tony of the use of personalised number plates as a business tool that he is offering a magnum of champagne for what he considers is the most appropriate number plate.
