My name's Ben and I'm a Wakeyholic.
Apparently the song writer, being Swedish, misheard that a "Chelsea Girl" was called a Slobo. When actually it should have been Sloane.

Yeah, I definitely didn't bother with the album. It was one of those tracks that I was obsessed with for a few weeks, then forgot about it.

The seed tune that led to this one was a Pop Will Eat Itself classic. I saw PWEI last Friday at the Brudenell. They were awesome.

I think it's one of those I had on cassette single and probably ended up in the bin or charity shop in the early 00s.

Either way, it's been reported as spam.

I think my grandma had one of those electric bar heaters that were built into the light fitting. I never thought at the time how dangerous it probably was.

Joking aside. I quite miss staying at my grandma's as a kid, and getting out of the bath and walking on carpet instead of cold tiles.

I see your point, the added danger is definitely a factor. But I've also seen the most arrogant Audi drivers stop at a pelican crossing, where there's no sign of a pedestrian, police or any other real consequence.

Totally on board with this. It's one of those words I have to take a breath before saying, then with the subsequent singing I think it could be used as a mindfulness exercise.

If we could work out what it is that makes the red light such a binding social norm for 99.9999% of people, I think we could fix society.

It takes incredible engineers to deliver what the architects imagined. Quite a striking building along with the John Lewis and carpark.

I took this photo just over 10 years ago. From a very similar spot.
