Can't see what the problem is Jim. If Marks and Spencer stop selling your favourite Y fronts, they are still a shop that sells men's underwear. It's just you who would be disappointed trying to find what you want. It's still the same Marks & Sparks to everybody else, none of whom would understand what all your fuss is about.

Just think how folk could have taken off if it wasn't for people being turned off by the very thought of the folk police. Music in the popular culture from the 50s onwards has had a hell of a lot of folk inspired influence. If folk clubs had been universally more inclusive, they might have thrived rather than dropping like flies over the last thirty years.

Anyway. Must dash. I have to brush up on Ziggy Stardust. Haven't played it in years and I will tonight at a err folk club....
