the original press release for the album details the trip: "They visited the nuclear power station at Torness, saw the funfair being dismantled at Aviemore and played a round of golf under the gaze of Ben Nevis. It didn't rain once."

The band has described it as "a joking reference to Britpop, and everybody who thought we were part of that scene".
Norman Blake added in 2016 "We just thought it sounded funny. No one calls Scotland "Northern Britain," although technically it is."
