Thanks for your assist Robyn. Donald Rawe was my brother's closest friend and he lived very close to our home on Dennis Road, Padstow. "Be you a Cornish maid then Robyn?" "You'm surely not an emmit like these others 'ere be you?" Padstow's Darkie Days celebration certainly took a bashing here. However, judging by the number of photographs showing "Padsta" maids as Teasers, the feminist movement appears to have won their battle. It would have been unthinkable for a young female to be a Teaser in my day. They always ran screaming in fear of the Oss. Frankly, I'm not sure what this proves. That females today are more secure in their birth control techniques? Possibly that females today aren't afraid of being trapped underneath the skirts of the Oss? Because, "They'm totally shameless!!"
