Precisely because of that. Again, that was Shane's idea, the Vice Squad's drummer. He thought it would be a big laugh to actually put it on a different label name. I mean it was all done through Riot City, but we just changed the name of the label and just put Not Very Nice Records because it wasn't really a very nice record. (Laughter) And in fact, later on in years, we did get into trouble with EMI America for using that title.

At times, it was unclear to both rioters and authorities as to whether the reading of the Riot Act had occurred. One example of this is evident in the massacre of St George's Fields of 1768.

He commented that it wasn't that at all, it was being forced to give up smoking. He later said that the sort of ballpoint pens he wrote with were no longer manufactured and asked readers to send him their own pens. He then said that he kept writing every day of those 11 years but did not think the work good enough. Grantchester Grind was a sequel to Porterhouse Blue, and it was followed by The Midden in 1996. In the following decade, two further Wilt novels appeared. How old were you at the time, and, since you weren't coming from the same angle as the new wave of punks, did you have any difficulty in relating at all? The writer, who died at his home in Spain aged 85 in 2013, had a difficult relationship with his father who was an avowed supporter of Adolf Hitler. urn:lcp:riotousassembly00shar:epub:f3dafc24-6d99-4471-a4a8-ffb957d03f8e Foldoutcount 0 Identifier riotousassembly00shar Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t45q61w3g Isbn 9780330234238
