A few months ago I posted on my Instagram about a young woman who had stopped me in the street outside a hairdressers in Southend. I had been having a particularly rubbish day and was heading home, when a little voice said hello. […]

Hold on one cotton picking second there, Clothes-Make-the-Man, don?t be trying to pull the wool over our eyes, those shoes look remarkably like Clarks Wallabees.

Nam Y. Huh/AP The expression ?sex, drugs, and rock and roll? was popularized by new wave artist Ian Dury in 1977, when he released a song with a similar name. Since then, the three vices have been tightly linked and become synonymous with the excesses of the music industry.
