Yes Im well aware of that ,it was tongue and cheek, because previous rumours have hinted at perhaps EZY being interested in LS, and EZY have a "big announcement in June"
Sorry folks, I must have been mistaken but heres the source I took my info from.
From the Boeing 757 enthusiasts site

Although not a true "Extended Range" version of the aircraft, the 757-200(ER) first flew on 8th April 1986 and was delivered to Royal Brunei on 6th May 1986. The ER aircraft is certified to a higher gross takeoff weight, but does not feature additional fuel tank capacity (which is strictly speaking normally a feature of an ER variant).

the 757 is available with extended range features, including a backup hydraulic-motor generator and an auxiliary fan to cool equipment in the electronics bay. High-gross-weight versions of the aircraft can fly 4,500 statute miles (7,240 kilometers) nonstop with full passenger payload. These system attributes contribute to the 757's versatility, allowing it to serve more markets.
Im looking at a list of the Britannia/Thom fleet provided by the airline and 14 of their 757's are designated "ER" versions.
