Well found SO'P - I never knew they still merited enough interest to warrant a web site. The thing about Bell End Cheddar (funny how I got the name wrong - I must have gone past the shop hundreds of times on the bus; they always put rude signs in the upper windows of the building) was how long it was there before most people noticed what it really meant.

I used to work in the printers where the cassette covers were printed for the Macc Lads albums and Mutley McLad (he actually went to the posh boys school in the town) was a pretty astute businessman as far as I was always concerned. It was all a bit funny until some racist stuff crept in (in an effort to shock as the joke was wearing thin by this point) and I lost what little interest I had in them.

The shop is still there: I think it's a lingerie shop now.
