Though I'm not a big fan of folk singing myself, I suspect many of you may be and may have missed the Woman's Hour interview with Shirley Collins that I have just heard. No doubt it will be available on line if you're interested.

...it was a good programme - as Women's Hour often is! (I love Jane Garvey's voice!)

What do you mean "soz"?!!! Shame on you. As COG supremo you really should know better. You will be stooping to boldly splitting infinitives next; or are you disinterested in the proper use of English and how it effects us? Brian

She's a very amusing woman - unlike Jenny Murray who is irritating as hell but thinks she's a marvel! (in my humble opinion, of course) I've had occasion to work with or be interviewed by Jenny Murray on a couple of occasions over the years. She is a deeply unpleasant woman, famous for being quite obnoxious to her colleagues as well. SaveSave

I'd like to see Jenny Murray mixing concrete in freezing conditions or crawling under floors wiring a house. I used to like Woman's Hour but I'm put off by politically correct feminist agenda being rammed down my throat the whole time by highly privileged women who have no idea what a lot of working men have to put up with - even though I am a woman (if that term isn't obsolete).
They can't even discuss 19th century novels without the compulsory warning in case we're upset by the non-inclusive language. Yuck!
