As someone who lived in DH Lawrence country for more than thirty years, nothing used to piss me off more than the RADA allpurpose northern accent. Similarly the local daft buggers down the folk club attempting a Derbyshire/ Notts border accent.

Only one thing upset me more - that was snooty characters having the bad manners to criticise ordinary people having a go at being a folk singer.

Furthermore as someone who took a long time to work up the bottle to get up and do a floor spot, I resent those who assume they have the right to dictate their tastes and opinions.
