Can anybody tell me why there is no flat or sharp between E & F, and B & C?

Re: Music Theory
Because there just isn't one. Look at a keyboard / piano.
You could technically call E "F flat" (in the key of C flat) or call C "B sharp" (in the key of G sharp), but that's for other discussions.
Maybe you just need to read up about music theory, I guess. Sometimes there really isn't a "why".

Re: Music Theory
ok my first explinatoin wasnt really that great so here a better one:
the tunning/intonatoin system most of us are used to divides the octave into 12 evenly spaced intervals (12-tone equal temperment). However most scales used in western music are 8 tones. so they named 8 tones (2 of the same one for the octave) that space out nicely to the normal major and minor scales in certain positoins; minor form A, major from C (also jazz minor from D i beleive). They just fill in the other notes with flats and sharps. Really the notes in an octave could be numbered form 1 to 11 and it woudlnt atcually make any diference.
except "**** my 7 string broke" wouldnt mean you just broke a whole guitar
