    from wikipedia....

    A know-it-all or know-all is a person who believes that he/she has an accurate comprehension of a topic and/or situation when in reality, his/her comprehension is inaccurate and limited. This belief may or may not be outwardly expressed
    but you probably knew that.....

      Yeah I did know that. But that's a "know it all" or a "know all".

      Al on the other hand is either a shortened version of someone's name or a reference to a group of people (et al). Hence I fail to see the humour. Sure, it would be funny if the number plate reservation was "KNOWALL" but that's not the case. So please, can someone explain to me the humour behind knowing someone named Al.

        Six Characters only in NSW

        I thought it was KNOW AL as in knowing a person called AL too until my attention was drawn to it. And as I said earlier "Who mentioned you?

        It didn't get funny till then.

        Maybe it's not appropriate as most would be aware that NSW plates, custom or otherwise are restricted to 6 alphanumeric characters and that a little licence is oft granted on number plates as per the following example.

        It's a pity that BL 04 GO has already found its way onto a Porsche 930 Turbo

        Methinks the resistance and replies are even funnier than the plate!!

        You know you are getting old when you cancel your order for a 3.6 CC and buy an Icelandic Gray TDI CC instead.
