We narrowly escaped an outburst from the paranoid quotescrambler and so far haven't been Sidmouthbabbled, but apart from that it's descended to the same old pointless Mudcat crap.

It is posts like yours which represent the same old pointless Mudcat crap, Folknacious - everything said here has been bang on thread, and constructive too for the most part - generally because, like me, people do care otherwise they wouldn't bother. Like I say, Folk is our country - we live in it, we love it, but we're under no illusions about its questionable heritage, the darker episodes of its history nor yet its current mismanagement; naturally enough we also fear for its future, and the role we each have to play therein.

Still, let's all lighten up, eh? I was reading in the Radio Times the other day that as well as scrapping certain radio stations, the BBC wants to feature more folk on Radio Two. Maybe they'll be restore The Organist Entertains to its full hour slot whilst they're at it. I love that show & might lose myself in its true eclecticism, but it just hasn't been the same since they sliced it down to 30 minutes.
