That is not the Wiki you first put up Dave

Yes it is, Jim. That is the exact link I have always referred to. If you think otherwise you are, once again, mixing me up with someone else. If you have evidence that it was a different one I will be more than happy to apologise. If you have not, please stop making these things up.

Since you seem to have some sort of fetish about the numbers let us put them in context. I have no idea where the figures came from and suspect it is some sort of official register but presuming that the Wiki article used the same source for both it does show an interesting trend. From the article, "By the mid-1960s there were probably over 300 in Britain" followed by "there are now over 160 folk clubs in the United Kingdom". That is almost a 50% reduction. Hardly surprising as we have lost about half our pubs in the same period!
