"lets face it -its not that you like folk music "
Let's face it Al - you haven't got a clue what I like, basically because you haven't got a clue what folk song is - only your own undefined, and probably undefinable version of it.
Yu seem to be suggesting that, because folk music hasn't reached number one in the charts, we should all become interested in something else - preferably something you like.
Don't know if you ever heard the story of the two Liverpool lads who ran a fish and chip shop in Lime Street during the war.
Because of the German shipping in the North Sea, fresh fish was hard to come by, and the danger of transporting goods on the Lancashire Roads made it virtually impossible to get good potatoes.
Business began to drop off rapidly, until after one particularly bad night, one of the fellers said to his mate, "We can't go on like this: lets close the chippy down and open a brothel instead".
His mate replied, "Don't be daft la - if we can't sell chips, we'll never be able to sell soup".
Sorry Al - if I can't sell chips I really can't be arsed selling anything else.
As I said, us workers can move the earth if you give us a crowbar long enough.
