A vehicle connected with a Brigg business to do with clothing adjustments carries the personalised numberplate SEW. You can see it running round local streets.
Perhaps I could reflect my interest in cricket by scouring the lists for RUN or even BAT. Those who remember my playing days with Brigg Town CC would reasonably suggest OUT or LBW as being more appropriate!
There must be some good ones we can think of for Brigg people, firms and organisations. FIX, perhaps, for John Blanchard's domestic appliance van, and ATE for the Deli in Wrawby Street.
Your suggestions are very welcome, and we anticipate a good number from Ken Harrison.

LBW 2 IS still rolling about Brigg..and my PIIRGE makes the odd appearance at Tesco.
There's a firm of plumbers called Pimlico Plumbers in London: they personalise their vans with DRA1N,
BOG 1 and LAV 1 and etc.
One famous registration plate is Jimmy Tarbuck's 'COM1C'......and Paul Daniels is just 'MAGIC'!
But perhaps the local bookmaker could look out for BET 1.
