The reaction to the burning, Jim Reid's report and Gimpo's film ranged from blatant scepticism to outright anger. For once their media reputations as scam mongers and pranksters resulted in a general dumbing down of the story. On the first anniversary of the burning Cauty and Drummond returned to Jura to premiere the film Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid in the village hall. The discussions that followed the screening were, to say the least, lively and this led to plans for similar screenings around the UK and Europe. The details of what happened next are best laid out in Gimpo and Chris Brooks book K Foundation Burn A Million Quid (ISBN 1-899858-37-7) but briefly on 5 November 1995 Bill and Jimmy hired a car and drove to Cape Wrath, Scotland. There they painted a contract onto the car agreeing to end the K Foundation for a period of 23 years. The car was then pushed over the cliff to it's final resting place, some 600 ft. below. Sole use of the film of the money burning was given to Gimpo and the ashes were made into a brick [this being the physical embodiment of the K Foundation.]
In 1997 following the 2K Barbican gig Drummond and Cauty created K2 Plant Hire Ltd. A series of full page adverts inviting readers to vote by tele-poll on whether they should Fuck The Millennium. The pole resulted in a majority yes vote and they subsequently announced that The Peoples Pyramid would be built somewhere in the north of England using a brick for every man, woman and child born in the UK between 1900 - 2000, The pyramid would be completed by 30 October 2002. People were encouraged to participate in this project by collecting and donating bricks. It is intended that this site be a communication point for those people who would like to contribute to this project.
