Subject: RE: Folk - a target for comedians
anyone who is 'right on' would obviously pay higher prices at big name supermarkets - so as not to brush with poor people perhaps?

Whoever thinks that certainly hasn't been shopping at our nearest Waitrose where I have been repeatedly rammed into from every direction by teen mothers with push chairs.

I see all kinds in Aldi. Most laughable experience in Food Lion (think Lidl) where two well dressed women, apparently acquaintances bumped into each other and immediately started making excuses for shopping in Food Lion when they always only ever shop at Giant or Fresh Fields (think Marks and Spencers). I could not help laughing out loud at the blatant pretension.

I think anything and anyone is ripe for ridicule given the circumstances. Based on the number of young people full on participating in the folk music scene at Sidmouth a couple of weeks ago, a little ribbing won't do the genre too much damage.
