MGM·Lion - You are without doubt Mudcat's equivalent of Gandalf or Dumbledore.

I might often not agree with, but I certainly hold you in high esteem.

My family were only factory and manual workers,
but they brought us up to respect learning and vocabulary..
Which probably accounts for how I got to grammar school.

In fact when I was a student I discovered that sociologists referred to folks like us
as the 'respectable / civilised working class'

Though our culture was definitely not folk music of any kind.........


Now back on topic, I'm glad you guys took my folk degree essay quip seriously.
Because if I were a lecturer on that course
I would certainly use threads like this as contextual material in seminars !!!
