There's now a Dazzle Ships mini-site called 'Written in Sand'*
http://www.omd.uk.com/dhtml/d_main.html which has an interview with McCluskey.
There's also another interview with OMD at Clash magazine** here:

* I always thought the lyric was 'Written and sent...' - must clean my ears!
** There's some great info in here but whoever typed up this interview and whoever edited it, for the sake of our beautiful language, needs to be taken out to a wall and shot.
