I don't think "Block & Quail" would have scaled up the way "B&Q" has.

I heard a tale about someone travelling in the States. The hotel asked if
he'd
got a discount card. Looking through he came across a B & Q card and offered
that. 'What's it stand for?' 'Bush and Quayle.' He got his discount! Yes Dan
Quayle. Remember him? No best not. The younger Bush learned his style
from T Dan Q.
