Entry Refusal - what does this stamp mean?
Following this question, I had a refused entry in the UK before (about two years ago) and granted a temporary admission.
I am just curious, what does this stamp below mean? (there two stamps, what I am asking is the top stamp). What is this 45 XXX on the stamp for? I can hardly see any readable word on the stamp!
When I left EU via Amsterdam, the officer asked me what that is and I could not answer him. So I just told him that it was the date I left the UK.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Sorry I think the code/ number should not be shown in this public space.

As Gayot Fow explained in his very detailed answer to your other question, you were not refused entry: this stamp is a standard "leave to enter" stamp, which means you were granted entry to the UK. These are commonly given to everybody who is allowed to enter, but doesn't otherwise have right to abode in the UK.
The code up top is likely there to identify some combination of where you got this and who gave it.
