In 1998 Nicky inadvertedly invented Marmite by spilling a barrel of yeast when he was a tour of Boddington's brewey.
The band actually wanted to cover Theme From Bread instead of SIP, but were denied when Jean Boht claimed composers rights on the tune, and despite hours of wrangling (icluding the offer of a cameo in the video), she refused. |

Nicky is actually Scottish, but has perfected a Welsh accent in order to "fit in."
Richey was actually Japanese and had it not been for the band, he'd have become a Geisha.
