Thread Name: The Improper Folk Festival (Pickering, UK)
Subject: RE: The Improper Folk Festival (PickeringUK)
Sorry, Paul, but now I'm really angry.

I had hoped that we would get away without the nasty, smug glee of the likes of Betsy and Nutty but, no, they seem determined to use an act of nature to open an old debates that, frankly, they chose to make devisive. It was they who took the, frankly, fascist attitude that Pickering had no right to exist and that people who had no desire to be bored rigid by their inane attitudes to folk music, which they insist on pushing down our throats ad infinitum whilst they pick the ear-wax from under their fingernails, could actually gain pleasure from attenting a different festival to theirs.

Why is it that people like that hate the idea of others enjoying themselves in a manner different to theirs. How can they live with such a hateful outlook? Do they have so little experience of real life that they think their little island is the only one that has a right to exist? Quite honestly, I have no desire to be in the company of people like that - life's too short.

I hope Saltburn is a great success and that those who attend enjoy it. Why could they not have had the good grace and good manners to wish Pickering the same?
