Hasn't this thread moved completely away from its original topic, namely, the French / Saunders TV piss-take of a folk festival?

I thought their sketch was very amusing and not at all offensive.

I cannot understand the negativity that creeps into all the threads on mudcat these days.

Like Anon. I remember seeing Dawn French at a folk festival, indeed I even chatted with her on the streets of Broadstairs and was impressed by her knowledge of traditional music & dance.

She said she'd always longed to be a morris dancer but didn't think she had the build for it!
