Just William is more effective as a British Council representative than an incarnation of 'evol'... oh the only use for Whitehouse records is to get people out of your flat when they’ve overstayed their welcome, they’re just garbage and so rubbish they’ll clear any dance floor… but I kept hold of my copy of Sweet Tooth, very funny, but if you can flag this up enough and create a market I’d be prepared to part with it for £20 or more (once I’ve made an mp3 of it - I’m sure Smell and Quim wouldn’t try to enforce their intellectual copyright)… Just William is more effective as a British Council representative than an incarnation of ‘evol’…

Lots of Dick wittington references I seem to recall. Headbutt are one of my favourite live bands ever, I think, and I was at a lot of their gigs around that time... great people also. S&Q have quite a history but I don't know much about their music really... Hi simon - yeah it was very memorable! Lots of Dick wittington references I seem to recall.

Obviously I wasn't gonna say no :) Didn't know you were at that '96 Smell & Quim, Headbutt etc show John - I was one of the 30 or so loonies in the 'band' that night - as was Lol Coxhill which would look good on my CV if I had one. The best show of that era was a truly crazed Belgium one where we managed to totally freak out and offend a crowd of black-clad ultra-serious Euro-Industro-Goths. RE Gripper:

If you google Wicca Workers Party you get some mad stuff. Anathema - yeah I suspect there is a PhD thesis to be done on "wrongheaded trademark and copyright infringement in industrial music". Actually I did just flog a couple of PTV things (more about which soon) but I think they just flooded the market in a way that other groups didn't. Also they never really played the "limited edition" game properly. Ha ha - hold tight the Dr Who Bedfordshire crew! If you google Wicca Workers Party you get some mad stuff.

Funniest reply ever! (because it's true) The funniest bit is that if these nobodies came after you for "copyright infringement" imagine the hullabaloo his majesty GPO would cause if you tried selling something with "his symbol" on it. I guess you won't have to worry about it for a while tho... last time I tried getting rid of some PTV stuff on eBay I couldn't even get people to buy it for free. “When they are worth something.”

There was also an epsiode of 1970s Sci-Fi series Space 1999 called the Rules of Luton. 'The Moon has been sent out of Earth's orbit and across space by a nuclear explosion. Humans from Moonbase Alpha land on the planet Luton, so named because the American producer saw the name on a road sign on the way to work. The planet Luton is inhabited by intelligent plants' (google to find more) Not sure I recall the Dr Who in Bedfordshire episode, having grown up there I can say that the miles of nothingness riled by daleks is about right.
