They used to use the Manchester canal but a combination of do-gooders clearing it out, and it overflowing with shopping trolleys and stolen cars meant an alternative had to be found. More rocktastic trivia: Roy Wood is only a Wizard at weekends. During the week he does charity work for an orphaned kitten voluntary group.

Diablo Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Rock/Rap outfit Dog Eat Dog were originally 3 Labradors, 2 German Shepherds and a Dalmatian. The Dalmatian ate both Lab's and ended up being muzzled and restricted to only playing drums from then on. The two Labs were replaced by humans bringing the band to the current lineup.
