I and my partner bought the small section of your garage , , the latin meaning ," we will make it work" , I believe .

Our section was taken over by Tosh Wild who has passed away a few years ago , the present owner is un known but the place has a council condemned notice on it , or it had last year .

Sam used to live on Industry Street not seen him for 20 years or so .

Frank Howe car sprayer also had section of the old garage , you couldn't get in his section for old paint tins and discarded car parts , He used to share his dinner with the rats .

I believe the Latin translates as ‘ Don’t let the b........rds grind you down’.
