It isn't quite so ironic when someone has to spell it out to them. Thank you Mr Fly. Presumably those annoyed used to be young codgers.

I'm just off to write a new folk song. I have a booking in a folk club on Friday and I usually present a few new folk songs at this annual booking for the good people who listen to my folk songs in a folk club.

Not that they are brilliant songs of course. The lazy amongst us have always known folk clubs to be less than discerning audiences. Perhaps I codge them together?

Sorry to read that precious people still think the world spins round them. Folk is defined by those using the word. Acoustic, roots, traditional, protest, ballad.., presumably we all know folk all compared to old codgers?
