You have always made your intentions clear regarding your support of Saltburn Festival and your loathing of those dreadful people in Pickering and their audacity to start a folk festival on your patch.

There's more to going into a town than simply sitting in a pub singing or playing Nutty. I vist Towersey every year and always take a trip into Thame to have a look around and shop. I never feel the urge to start up a session though. Of course Pickering businesses will benefit.

I also think that Simon Boak is entitled to express his hopes and wishes like the rest of us.

Incidentally, don't you think that BASTARD is a bit strong? It's only a bit of fun my dear.
