silly query:

i didn't see much on this in the archive but what's the significance of dept. stores in b&s songs? i've counted three mentions debenhams, c&a and marks & spencer.

are there other mentions of stores - of any kind?

i've noticed this too; there's also been littlewoods (in pocketbook angel) and Rediffusion, in 'if you're feeling sinister' (still my #1 b&s track, i think!) can't think of any more. rob p.s. that story about mishearing 'fox in the snow' reminds me last summer when i was travelling with friends and a guitar in budapest, and i played that song, and one of them thought it was _very_ rude. tut tut. but then again, my scottish accent is crap, even in a singing voice - when i try and sing a century of 'fakers' it sounds more like 'vicars' p.p.s. don't join the indie-pop list - it's gone mad just recently, spewing out messages right left and centre ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + / \ St Theresa's calling her | O | The church up on the hill _______| _ | Is looking lovely / / /\ | __| \/.
