old." NME gleefully informed their readers, "The K Foundation's contribution to the 'Help' LP is a jungle track." Help was released on 9 September 1995. Moratorium Drummond and Cauty announced a moratorium on K Foundation activities in the obscure "The Workshop for Non-linear Architecture" bulletin of November 1995. The duo had signed a "contract", agreeing to wind up the K Foundation and not to speak about the money burning for a period of 23 years. The document was signed on the bonnet of a rented car which, they claim, they then pushed over the cliffs at Cape Wrath. This was followed on 8 December 1995 by an advertisement in The Guardian: The final act of the K Foundation was distributing a van load of Tennent's Super - a high-alcohol-content lager - to London's street drinkers on Christmas Day 1995. However, the Foundation discovered that their choice of location for this endeavour — near Waterloo station on the South Bank — was unusually devoid of homeless people, many of whom were in homeless shelters for the day. "That was a pity", said Jimmy Cauty. "If you are down-and-out, would you rather have a bowl of soup or a can of Tennent's?" The Sunday Times later called the scheme "ethically dubious". Drummond and Cauty - reunited as The Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu under the auspices of K2 Plant Hire Ltd - ended the moratorium on 23 August 2017, 23 years after the burning. "Why Did the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid?" was debated during a three-day festival celebrating the launch of their novel 2023: A Trilogy. In the intervening period, the duo had worked together in 1997, when they attempted to "Fuck the Millennium" as 2K (music) and K2 Plant Hire (conceptual art). Omnibus documentary In November 1995, the BBC aired an edition of the Omnibus'' documentary series about The K Foundation entitled "A Foundation Course in Art".
