Popbitch carries this great story, complete with spelling mistakes, about the lengths to which Factory would go to save money (shurely "waste money". Ed.):

"How Sean got his happy mondays, tuesdays... X Factor contestant Rowetta used to sing with Happy Mondays. During the group's heyday Sean Ryder got massively addicted to phone sex lines, and ran up thousands of pounds worth of bills for Factory Records.

To try and keep costs down Factory supremo Tony Wilson got Rowetta to call Sean and talk dirty to him at least four times a day instead."
