Bills Mothers

The saying "Black over Bills Mothers", I was told originated from "Black over Wills Mothers" and referred to B,ham & area people looking Southerly weather wise towards Stratford.

Origin "Will" as William Shakespeare, hence Mom,s house etc

Don,t know if this is true or not so any opinions welcomed
