Jenny T is now forty three, mother of 2 girls and a head teacher in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Frankie G however, was a fictitious character. The original badge on my lapel as I ran to school was not a big pink badge, but a Tom Waits badge! The song was invented in something of a hurry after Andrew had discussed it as being "ready for recording" with an agent of The Wedding Present at a gig at JB's in Dudley, West Midlands on a drunken Friday night. The night of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster. The song did not even exist at the time!
