"We ain't me; by we I'm speaking of the general Folk Consensus of the last century or so as revealed in The Imagined Village, Fakesong, Rites and Riots etc. etc."

Indeed, and I'm sure folkloric consensual objectivity is all very fascinating, when it's at home, though I'm not sire where that home is? Is it to be found on Brighton Pier or in it's Antiquarian Bookshops? Hell, who knows? Except the experts of course who have pondered such matters, thankfully for me I'd rather be eating chips than fretting over such imponderables..

Mind you, I'd still be interested in further resources for British folk art.
