We have loads that choose not to, when I flag this I'm quite often met with with, "not everyone is an IT expert", to which I reply that we don't need them to be, we just need them to be able to read.

Out of interest…what is it about a choir singing carols that irritates…just so I can feed back to our church choirmaster for next years Carols by Candlelight.
Though given we had a full to overflowing church with about 150 attending at this years late yesterday afternoon, and much praise was afterwards given the way of the choir (despite my efforts at wrecking the bass part), I doubt we’ll change anything other than the carols we sing…just asking ?

No need to give feedback to your choirmaster as I won't be attending.
Whilst I fully appreciate that choirs can be very talented and bring much joy to many people, they don't to me.
I don't like the noise they make, simple as that, and there seems to be a lot of it at this time of year, understandably so.
I wouldn't dream of telling people not to participate, attend or enjoy them.
I just don't.
Maybe being an atheist has something to do with it, I just don't know.
But I do know that I find carols and choirs singing them very irritating.

Ok…I can get that part of the irritation could be over-familiarity, both of some carols and every choir under the sun bashing them out - so this year one of our choir-only carols was the medieval Coventry Carol…sung acapella it is actually rather haunting - moving in both words and music. We got some lovely feedback on it from many who had never heard it before, I’m not going to hold my breath, no pictures, just words and voices, and maybe, just maybe…?No need to give feedback to your choirmaster as I won't be attending.

1. People who have no concept of the road conditions and driving as normal in icy foggy conditions- then act surprised when they can’t stop in time and slide into another car
2. Miserable moaners who can’t find any joy in life

Double road closures in my area, meaning a hefty diversion.

Sorry SiLH but I'm with Slime on this one. I listened to the first 30 seconds of that and had to turn it off. I appreciate that some might like it but I'm not one of them. I didn't find it haunting or moving at all, I just found it boring and a bit
. But each to their own, and I'm sure there are many people out there that do enjoy that sort of thing.

I don't know whether I "like" this as an opposite of those who clearly dislike it.
I can really embrace this as being part of my historic culture, adds to my understanding of my culture.
Written hundreds of years ago and performed with ability and skill. Well worth listening to.
I have no religion, but again, I embrace and understand the place religion has in the development of my country's culture. I find it important to do so.
Choral singing is a large part of my personal half-Welsh culture.
Being uninterested in, disinterested in, or rejecting the culture of one's own country is a strange thing to me.
On the whole, I find this performance of this historic piece of music a good thing.
