Guest - Snob.
Many thanks for letting us know that you will not be in Whitby during school holidays. It will save us the effort of looking out for you.
Welcome again to the so-called oikies. We of the Whitby Scratch Morris Men will be out dancing to entertain you next year. We welcome the push chairs and toddlers who join in with the clapping (ballon stick sound effects) and put their hard earned pennies into the collection boxes which help to keep the festival finances afloat.
Welcome to the elderly folk who tell us how much they enjoy being able to watch the dancing and listen to the musicians. How it is a pleasure to be entertained by people who are also enjoying what they do and not in it for personal financial gain. We have you to thank for the fact that town wide festivals can take place at all.
Finally - thank you to the chip shops for feeding us something which all the family will eat.
Quack!
GtD.
