that is far more interesting and diverse than the stereotypical view put forward by the OP.

I've never read - or even heard of - the book, but from the website I'd say they have as stereotypically erroneous a vision of Englishness as WAV. In my own area of specialism - i.e. The Green Man - I can say they are way off the mark, however so well-in with the erroneous orthodoxy which, at a very generous stretch, only goes back as far as 1939 with most of the thinking on the subject coming in after 1970. Again, what I say here isn't by way of prejudice or assumption, rather the hard & unrelenting facts of the matter which do not support the folkloric / pagan hypothesis no matter deeply entrenched in the popular imagination this might have become in the last twenty-five years or so. Just as Ring-a-Rosies isn't a reportage on the symptoms of the Black Death and The Allendale Tar Barrels aren't a survival of a pagan fire festival, so the Green Man is none of the things England in Particular say it is.

Otherwise - I like power stations too, be they coal-fired, nuclear, wind powered or whatever. Blyth A & B was a particular favourite - for my personal paean on her sorry demise see HERE. I didn't see any indication of power stations on the England in Particular website though, much less any reflection of England as a multi-ethnic country, such as your mention of diwali would indicate. Perhaps you might be so good as to provide links if I've overlooked them? Otherwise, I will look out for the book - God knows I could do with some light relief after slowly picking my way through Bob Trubshaw's Explore Folklore this past month or so.
