A timely thread indeed! Was accompanying a singer on guitar the other night who said "I do this song in 'F'" "No way!" thought I, and played it in 'G'. At the end of the song he looked at me and said "that wasn't in 'F' and flounced off.

Having sought advice from other 'F' haters, the next time I have to play in 'F' I'll put the capo on fret 1 and play in 'E'.
