Candice, A bit left of topic but you may know - sort of near your neck of
the woods. If a South Carolina number plate has the the word 'Apportioned'
on it, what would that mean? Was dining in a pseudo-American bar - called
Arizona, no less - (like you have pseudo-Australian ones over there, I
believe) and there were all sorts of North American number plates affixed to
the wall (well, mainly US with the odd Canadian). I got Sunshine State and
The Garden State and Famous Potatoes and Live Free or Die and 10,000 Lakes
even. But Apportioned? Not what you'd call snappy.
Just curious,
Jill
