My family have always called me Bal. In the army I was either called Baz or Brummie, unless I upset one of the NCO's, then I was called names that shouldn't be mentioned in mixed company.

In my cycling days I was known as "The Black Raven", a name given to me by Tom Tall of, Wendron Close, Kings Heath, he did all the cycling write-ups in the Solihull News.

- Black Raven
In zijn jonge jaren gaf een Engelse journalist, Tom Tall, van Birmingham, UK, hem de naam 'BLACK RAVEN' (zwarte raaf). Met zijn zwart haar, lange neus en een handoek over zijn hoofd, vond Tall dat Webb op een raaf leek. Bij een van zijn veel overwinningen gebruikte hij als krantenkop, 'THE BLACK RAVEN SWOOPS AGAIN!'.​

[Bob Davis]

I never had a nickname, but my eldest son has had two, the first given by us was Arfer, because he only ever did half a job when asked to do anything and then when he left school and joined a local construction company because he was small and skinny he was called Gandhi, he is now a director of the company and the old 'subbies' still turn up at reception asking if Gandhi is about, puzzling any new receptionist. As I work in a construction related business, if they have to come in to see us, they still ask me how Gandhi is.....cuz uz avnt seed eem fur a bit boy (The boy is me in my eighties), gwain fair I reply. But they are all scared of 'heem, cuz eeez a ard un to deal with.'
