Look, my own ancestors have raped and pillaged some in their time too. I am not about to wear hair shirts about it, though I recognise the wrongs committed. "We're here 'cos we're here" as the nonsense rhyme goes. It's what we do that counts. I believe the participants of this thread to be normal people, with normal virtues and failings, but not guilty of their ancestors' sins. And they happen to like folk music and tea or coffee. And they want to talk about that, rather than about whatever came out of some old queen's nether regions, as you so graphically put it. Why does this bother you?
