Yet again I've attended a so-called 'Folk Evening' and been patronised by a load of school teachers with guitars - and, wait for it - a recorder! Oh yes, and a sodding great accordian - which sounded like musical mush.

And yet again I was treated like a six year old and expected to wave my arms around - songs with actions! I wanted to scream, "I'll be 60 next birthday - not 6! I've got a degree, a mortgage and a lot of life experience! And I don't wave my f**king arms around for anyone - and especially not for a bunch of boring, anodyne, patronising tw*ts like you!!"

But I didn't, of course, I just finished my beer and left.

Seriously, though, should teachers be allowed to sing folk songs - should they even be allowed out the classroom without a signed affidavit stating that they will refrain from treating adults like infants?
