We had an interesting exchange in the office yesterday stemming from whether to have BBC Radio 1 (Zo\u00eb and Victoria\u2019s radio station of choice) or BBC Radio 2 (Clare, Katherine and Phil\u2019s favourite) playing in the background while we merrily got on with our work.<\/p>\n
We settled on listening to a variety of CDs, but as part of the debate about the pros and cons of various artists we stumbled across the topic of the first gigs we went to (we did get lots of work done yesterday too, honestly).<\/p>\n
The results are shown below \u2013 some people are clearly cooler than others (I don\u2019t think my Bros days cut the mustard when compared to some of the others!), but we\u2019ll let you be the judge of that…<\/p>\n
