Although you say he (Simon Costin), has every right to work with CPTC, your inference is that he does not.

I (personally) say that whilst he (Simon Costin) has every right to work with our CPTC*, from what I've seen so far, I (personally) don't feel that it's a worthwhile project in & of itself for reasons already expressed. Please note though, Gillian - I am but one person expressing a personal opinion about a project which concerns things I care deeply about. Please also note that my bookshelves are bending down with volumes on other things I care deeply about - Folklore, Folk Song, Folk Tale, Storytelling, Green Men, Folk Custom, Frank Zappa, The Fall, Duke Ellington, Scott Walker, Misericords, The Marx Brothers etc. etc. - many of which I think are absolute bollocks. Needless to say, I cherish each & every one of them as much as do the criticisms of my own work accumulated over the years - which is one of the reasons I never delete the comments on my YouTube films no matter how negative or downright rude they might be.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be suggesting The Museum of British Folklore is beyond criticism; I only hope those involved with it don't feel this way too.
