Superman Stole My Crumpets by The Mairy Huff is back in the charts (the Belgian charts) 42 years after its first release. Not bad for a string quartet from Solihull.
I do believe the cellist, Mike Woodcroft, is from Acocks Green. Plus, the band used to rehearse at his house, so I suppose you're right.
Mike's dad Bernie once bought an Austin Allegro off me. He and his wife were staying at a caravan site near to my garage. He was driving a Bond Minicar at the time and it was not coping with the drive from Brum too well. Overheating I think. I gave him fifty quid for it on p/ex. I also took a Mazda off Feargal Sharkey. Can't recall the model but it was the sporty coupe one.
Don't worry about it, he's only spending Putins money if you listen to the weirdo lefties that think he's on Russian payroll
