Thread Name: English Folk Degree?
Subject: RE: English Folk Degree?
Wrong on so many levels WAV. Scotland were 'voting in' Labour long after England became a Tory perma-state. I used to dance to Dave and Ansel Collins on a battery record player in the street with people off The Windrush. Not instead, instead was nowhere to be found. We were not throwing hearty accordian players into the canal in favour of Desmond Dekkerand the Aces, they were notable by their absense. As they were from my very rural parents Edwardian upbringing who favoured show tunes and music hall ditties. From what little I know of my grandparents and great-grandparents and beyond, they lied about their age to join the army and get into whatever far flung place relieved them of grinding poverty the soonest.
