Towards the end they were pushing out complete drivel. Even some of my more sympathetic-to-their-cause friends had started to get embarrassed and began to quietly stop mentioning them. Anyway they did at least give us this classic, so far that I will be thankful: https://www.vice.com/en/article/434gqw/i-made-my-shed-the-top-rated-restaurant-on-tripadvisor

Ah fuggit. Please give me 5 mins to sort it. Update - OK sorted, please continue 6 pints and a late bed time.

A worthy winner. As much as I quite like the quirkiness of Your Woman, Vogue is by the far the timeless classic.
