I answered because my mum is a mudcat member, which is why earlier I mentioned going to folk festivals, and she told me about this thread a couple of days ago. She showed me some of the things you'd written and the generalisations you were making about people my age and schools like mine (I'm not just talking about one school either, I've attended two primary schools and two secondary schools, all of which were state schools) made me angry and I wanted to respond. I haven't ventured into other threads because this is the only one I'm really interested in. Is that okay 'Lizzie'? I'm going to bed now anyway, have a lovely evening!
