Phil Oakey: An Apology

In our recent article headed ‘League Leaders’, we implied that Phil Oakey, of the Human League, is such a huge fan of pencils that he regularly enjoys graphite-based shopping binges, picking up dozens of the things even if he doesn’t need them.

We now accept that this is untrue. It is actually just the pencils with erasers on the end that Phil is particularly fond of. Apparently, he is very specific.

We are happy to clear up this misunderstanding and apologise to Mr. Oakey and his family for any distress caused by the reporting of this rumour. A donation has been made to the Sheffield Staedtler Foundation.
