Tempted to what? Take a course in contextual comprehension? Seems a good idea. For the record, I've never in my life been to the Anchor except to the women's loos from where I vaguely overheard some lugubrious wailing. Other than that, I haven't a clue what happens in the bar but if the attendees enjoy it, fine.

I was simply quoting one such attendee labouring under the misapprehension that all contributors to this thread actually tolerate being labelled "f*lkies" and who boasted about knowing nothing about music and caring less (or words to that effect) which sounds mightily disrespectful and dismissive of both the tradition and of musicians in general.

If I was "ranting" it was against the utter pointlessness of the thread, general Mudcat tediousness and software creakiness, GEFFism at large, the unreliability of the iPlayer, power cuts and reduced broadband speed. Which I can if I want to.

IF I'm in Sidmouth, that's entirely my choice (or serendipidy of circumstance). It may not be a particularly frequent event, but the history of my attendance record reaches back into mistier depths of time than that of most, if not everyone else on this thread.
