Please, Mr Snail -

If this is how it came over, my unresrved apology.

My dismissal of other peoples' experiences was reserved to those who repeat the other party lines - 'ethnic' ; finger in lug ; etc., and who never met Ewan McColl and Peggy Seeger, but repeated scurrility they had heard from others.

If it came over differently; if it came over as my having a go at those who HAD met or known either and both, then I am sorry that such people do not have the pleasant memories of Ewan McColl and Peggy Seeger which I have.
