Dear Danny- I was interested to read your column in today's Times, entitled "Relying on The Bus Foolhardy in Seattle".

They also complain a lot about other users violently disagreeing with them on Facebook, and doing so using nasty language. Well, I am a 67-year-old woman, and …
Way back in the 1970's, when they were new, I discovered a British band called Steeleye Span. They play and sing medieval and Renaissance English folk songs, with modern rock instrumentation.
