Beer festivals and Morris dancing.

[Vegas Seagull]

Has anyone ever actually met a Morris Dancer. Or met someone who has met one?

They are like mythical creatures, emerging from swamps and downlands, prancing about in pub gardens and then vanishing again.

I don't believe they are real.

There were 20 in Wetherspoons North St last May Day, for my 30 mins the sounds of the bells around their ankles as they all trouped up to the Loo's and back was unrelenting

The do seem like something out of folklore, like pixies, elves and gnomes. Perhaps someone should follow one home one day to see where these people live.

Do these men dance with Morris women too? Are there even Morris minors?

So doing something that people think is different automatically makes him a kiddy fiddler in your eyes then?

Goth Morris dancers. Of course. Genius. Making morris dancing even less cool takes some serious doing! Fair play!

Well I wouldn't have left my children alone with a Morris dancer I can tell you.

Really? That real ale they serve can play tricks on the mind.

I went on holiday to Somerset about 4 years back, down the road was the West Somerset Steam Railway. We decided to catch the train down to Minehead, everything was going fine and it was lovely sitting back enjoying the views from the train, until we stopped at a small station and about 20 Morris dancers got on.
They weren't happy just sitting quietly and enjoying the countryside as they had to walk up and down the carriages playing accordions and ringing their bells.
