GUEST,Fred McCormick Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! (62* d) RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! 26 Dec 13


Yes. Also worth pointing out the traditional Blitherscrum custom of conflating carols and combining them. EG., "I Saw Three Kings Come Wassailing In".

Of course there are no apple trees in Blitherscrum. In fact there's practically nothing of anything that looks even half way likely to bloom. So the locals took Child 54 and altered it a bit, so that it now starts "Old cherry tree, we wassail thee".

Then again there's one you'll hear every year in the King Herod. Well, you will ever since the landlord didn't realise he'd run over time, and ended up in court for accidentally serving after hours. "King Herod and the Clock".

BTW. I was driving back over the moors from Dungworth this afternoon and, just about where Penistone Rd becomes Mortimer Rd, I swear I saw a sign which said BLITHERSCRUM five miles.
