So it's OK for you to talk nonsense but when someone else starts they need to go and have a lie down? :-) I am quite capable of reading what has been posted.

a clientele significantly different from a crowd of care in the commmunity cases who regard the 'folk club' as their own remedial drop-in centre.

a night out from hell at the Rat & Cockroach

a whole lot more congenial than the average filthy pub back room

I'll know what to think about those continue to consider it OK just because it enables them to keep their wallets shut.

pensioners are ever so well off these days

I've just had the £200 annual CD buying present from the government land in my account . . .

Recognise any of the above?

How many more ways can I say it? If you don't like folk clubs stay out of them. Maybe your views are valid but seeing as you are into cogent analysis how are they any more valid than anyone elses? And how are your inflamatory comments helping your case? Don't tell others how to run their own clubs. Just go away and run your own. I am sure you will do much better.

Cheers
