I was casting doubt on the quality of an electrical installation today, when I enquired where the main fuse is the lady customer told me that it’s in an inaccessible location, adding “I think it’s a Whitworth fuse”.
Being close to Bromsgrove a lot of guys in Redditch were also very quick to tell you they had a set of Garringtons spanners in their tool kit along with the spanners for their bikes.
When I was a kid I found it odd that the thin lightweight punched steel and multi sized bicycle spanners made to keep in your saddle bag actually fitted your bike better than Dad’s set of “proper spanners” until someone explained why.
