Contrary to popular belief, we weren’t like lads lads. But a couple of us went, looking into this [lads’ holiday] world—sort of ‘No chance!’ It’s a snapshot of that world. People probably connect to that more than Down and Out in Paris and London, to be honest.” a b c d e f g Gill, Jamie (21 April 2008). "The Courteeners - St Jude". Yahoo! Music.
