Morris Dancing

[Parson Henry]

Should we be proud of this folk tradition or should we be embarrassed?

Is it a latent erotic ritual?

Have you ever Morris Danced?

Should the England RU team Morris Dance as the All Blacks 'Haka'?

So many questions?

there were morris dancers outside the brighton tavern :safeway
doing a few things with ringing bells, hitting cricket stumps in the air, waving hankies whilst wearing leathers

I was in Haworth recently and saw Morris Dancing (other than on tele) for the first time.

What a bunch of :safeway :safeway :safeway2: :safeway2:

Mind you the after dance celebrations in the pub looked ok.

This is perfectly sufficient. A classic.

 

[Grendel]

It's a bloody ridiculous past-time. There's a reason why it died out in the first place, which is that no bugger likes it.

I like it when they bang the sticks together and shout 'HEY'.

Morris dancing is proper DOPE.

I once joined in with a troupe of prancing Morris-men in Cumbria, and it was just plain fun.

EVERYONE thought so.
