The original stuff did involve Westgate Classics of Aldridge. http://westgateclassicsltd.com/index.html
Then "In the summer of 2016, Fuzz left Westgate Classics to set up a new garage, To-Ta Classics Ltd., in Oldbury, West Midlands.[8] In 2018, To-Ta changed its name to SOS Workshop Ltd.[9]"

"It Just Is"
I'm beginning to think that not only are you a part time electrician but the other part time job is a Brum historian ??
Its just that sometimes I forget and start typing in a Brummie accent .
Reminds me of an anecdote which may not work when written down . Back in the day , early '70s , worked for a contractor that was organized into three groups of around six sparks plus apprentii ...each group with it's own foreman .
Our foreman was OK other than when having to speak to , say , the architect or a consultant engineer would adopt a "posh" accent . Remembering its easier to speak Swahili than for a Brummie to speak "posh" he classically let himself down with one phrase .
Need to explain , like further north you hear someone say ...EEeeee ..or Ayeeee ..or Ooooh Arrr , an older Brummie , instead of saying .."Oh yes" would say ..."O ..arr" .
So , "We need to run a 6 inch trunking along there " Foreman , concious that he needs to be sounding his " aitches " famously answered ....... "Ho, Hah" Well it was funny at the time .
