Brits divided into ‘Mad fer its’ and ‘Meh for its’ this Summer

The upcoming Oasis tour continues to divide the nation as 44% of Brits claim to be Oasis mad and 1 in 5 are already sick of hearing about the band.

Unsurprisingly, leading the madferit camp is their hometown of Manchester with 48% of residents claiming to be diehard fans, alongside London (also 48%).

1 in 10 Brits (12%) even said Liam Gallagher would make a great prime minister and 15% believe Wonderwall should be the national anthem, according to a recent poll from Flaming Grill.

Now, thanks to Flaming Grill, pubgoers in selected venues in Manchester and London can order a beer and a barnet, just like their heroes, as barbers will be ready to give Gallagher-inspired haircuts at the bar.
As well as playing all the iconic tunes, the “madferit” zones include free bucket hats, Britpop décor and prizes for those who show Oasis swagger as they walk to the bar.

Meanwhile, Flaming Grill will also be on hand to offer solace to the 47% of Brits who find Oasis ‘irritating’ by rolling out “mehforit” zones at selected venues Plymouth and Newcastle. The research found that nearly 1 in 10 (8%) of Brits would actually rather the Cheeky Girls reunite than Oasis and 68% of fans would rather see the Backstreet Boys back together than the Burnage Boys of Liam & Noel. Plus, nearly a third of Brits (32%) say they’d rather be bald than get an Oasis-style haircut.

These zones will have a different set of house rules; customers will be barred from singing Wonderwall, look-alikes will be exiled to the carpark by ‘Liam detectors’ – trained to measure sideburn length and scan for concealed tambourines and Oasis noise cancelling headphones will be available so a pint can be enjoyed in champagne super silence.

Limited edition cocktails across both camps will also be on offer – Definitely May-Tea and Don’t Look Back in Jam-ger – serving up a taste of nostalgia, or sweet relief, depending on your Gallagher tolerance.
