I have met Daisy's mum very briefly at two Folk Festivals and, although I knew she had a daughter, I have never had the pleasure of meeting her and had no idea of where they lived.

I'm sorry to see that some of Daisy's mum's replies to Lizzie are no longer on the thread; I thought that they were informative and courteous.

Earlier today I received a PM from Daisy's mum requesting me to ring and speak to her daughter who was confused and annoyed that Lizzie appeared to be questioning her authenticity as the author of her posts and to confirm that she really was the independant thinking young woman she claimed to be.

I chatted to Daisy and found her to be an articualte young woman.
We discussed her GCSEs which are structured very differently to the 10 I took a very long ago and I am convinced by the strength of her feelings and frankness that the posts really were 'all her own work'

I hope that this helps to dispel any misunderstanding that Daisy isn't exactly who and what she claims to be here and I hope that she can continue to contribute to other threads.
