Many thanks to you bro erection2011.... I didn't even realise the play on the words... I just typed as my thoughts flow.

I'd like to upz you in return but I don't know how to do it and I think I am also too 'young' in the participation sense to have the power to upz other forummers given that I have only become active recently in posting here.

Thanks again bro and have a nice day!

Nice play of words re your avatar. Upz you bro.

Yes. the E series only came about in the 70s...

When 'S' was exhausted at SY, in January 1972, Private cars started with E, Motorbikes with A and Goods Vehicles under 3 tonnes with Y. E was followed by EA, EB with the letters EC in 1973 up to EZ. From 1984, the "S" series of number plates was launched again, but now with two serial suffix letters, starting from SBA. Currently, as of this writing, the SKE series is in issue for private cars. - from wiki
