There is an article by Simon Pipe here:

When I was lecturing in an FE college there was always some smart*ss student who would seem me dancing in town and tell the class and then someone would ask. "You are morris dancer then, why do you do that?"

So I told them that I hade been all over Europe including paid trips; been on telly and in film, and on radio; Sheffield City Morris were the first (and I think only) team to go to South America; I have met country's Presidents; drunk a lot of beer and wine especially champagne for nothing; met some wonderful people all over the world, and in GB and in general had a good time that has not cost too me much.

I then used to ask them what they did. "Follow Wednesday" was the inevitable reply. (for non -Sheffielders that is "Sheffield Wednesday", supposedly a football team).
