Gil once tried to do a favour for a friend in another group.  When she was recording with Girlschool, she offered to copy one of their master tapes to a cassette (to make a demo tape).  She loaded the tape up on the equipment and subsequently forgot how to operate it!  The result of which was that every time she pushed the buttons (of which I am assured there were several!) it severed the master tape.  She ended up with a lot of bits of tape strewn around her!  Luckily, the Tour Manager (Tim) came back to see how she was doing and rescued her from certain death by splicing and editing the tape back together again!  The tape was successfully repaired and copied over to cassette!!

Lemmy (Kilmister) of Motörhead fame, was one of Girlschool's exponents and Girlschool often toured with them.  Lemmy used to live on a houseboat in Chelsea that was once owned (or lived in) by  Hank Wangford a.k.a. "The Singing Gynaecologist"

Gil is incensed by the fact that knicker manufacturer's insist on putting (I quote) "non-functional" bows on the knickers they sell!!
