their first manager Pete Meaden was a proper mod with all the connections
He persuaded them to change their name to The High Numbers and release 'I'm The Face'. He wrote the lyrics, cashing in on the mod slang of the day. They got rid of him straight afterwards - that's the closest they came to the proper mod scene

haha, I'll bet mentioning Paul Weller doesn't exactly go down well either
It seems to be a badly misunderstood part of London history.

I'd love to spend some time chatting with your pal

one of my old mates from the 90s hip hop scene's dad was (apparently) a famous jewel thief in the 60s
Apparently there's a movie about him, but in fairness I can't verify that.

My mate told me that his dad said that most people talk shit and he wasn't bothered by threats - but one person he was genuinely scared of was Jimmy Saville: if he was after you, you were fucked.
