Oh  Oldbury  ,  why did I think  Aldridge . ?   :C

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]"

I'm beginning to think that not only are you a part time electrician but the other part time job is a Brum historian ?? 

 

[Evans Electric]

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 .
