You can safely say that nightclub owner and businessman Peter Stringfellow was firmly in the 'Oasis' camp in the Battle of Britpop - or at least he was twenty years ago.

A letter that Stringfellow sent to the NME in 1995 has emerged on Twitter, in which Stringfellow denounces the behaviour of Blur as 'obnoxious little shits' when they visited his nightclub.

He took umbrage to the magazine's report that he had supposedly "'fawningly' ushered" Damon Albarn and co. into his club. 

"What a load of crap!" he wrote, mentioning that the band were unable "to use one sentence without every other word being f… or c… - totally unnecessary".

He added that "they only left when it was blatantly obvious that we did not sell the particular commodity that they were looking for", before saying that their attitude was "entirely pretentious and phoney."

However, he did have some kinder words for some of their fellow Britpop bands Menswear and Pulp, who "were in the club and managed to get through the night and drink and had a fantastic time, and still managed to keep their credibility in tact without being obnoxious," the letter stated.

Obviously you can imagine that the Electric Picnic-bound Blur must be devastated by a well-respected figure like Stringfellow's opinion of them. Ahem.
