The necessary speed of the production of the paper is part of the reason for Guardian misprints (Typo negative: the best and worst of Grauniad mistakes over 200 years, 12 May), but that does not fully explain why the Grauniad got its name as a happy hunting ground for misprint seekers.
As one music critic observed, Suede’s swaggering, self-consciously arty intensity was especially seductive to a generation of misfits and dreamers turned off by lager and laddism. Theirs was an innately English aesthetic, and they sounded quite unlike anything around at the time.

The rally celebrated the theme, âLove, Life and Liberty,â drawing from II Corinthians 3:17 that reads: âNow the Lord is the Spirit, and where is the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.â
