    To be honest, I’d be more than happy with that. One of the most destructive of all musical cliches.

      Will probably need a referendum to decide whether to play Scot(t) Joplin.

        Some foreigners even chose archetypically British names in order to get their music played in our fair land (I knew all along that Frank Martin was born in a Swiss cottage, not Swiss Cottage).

          Next you'll be saying that VW's 7th is now banned, based as it is on his music for Scot(t) of the Antarctic
          I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

            I've checked with t'committee, and it's prepared to allow future performances as long as the programme notes don't mention R*n*ld *munds*n. Apparently we own - or at least claim - part of Antarctica even though VW dropped the 1st 'c'. There might be a problem with the 3rd, however, as VW smuggled in a wordless song sung by a mademoiselle during a quiet evening on the Western Front.
