Oh, so it's why don't I pay for it now? Moi? Actually, I wrote quite a lot earlier about arts funding at governmental level which you obviously didn't read either. I also said far above, quoting Bob Walton, that he doubted whether Sidmouth could be anything more than just another festival. I commented that this was scarcely a bad thing to say and certainly not a matter for twisted knickers. Odd that you call it 'vitriol' Do you know what this is? BW, me, and quite a lot of other people see Sidmouth falling prey to what Giok calls the 'identikit high street' syndrome. In other words, it matters very little which festival you go to (or which branch of Tesco), they're all the bleedin' same. Some people, presumably your Bedford clientele, like this. Any semblance of edge makes them feel unsafe. Not for me. That's boring, not special.

Actually, it's becoming increasingly necessary to ram the truth down the throats of those incapable of assimilating what's been said many times over. I know what I've said. You just haven't been arsed to look at it. It's a diminishing option to treat anyone with the reading capability of a deranged, educationally subnormal gnat as an actual adult person.
