Subject: RE: Folklore: Seen any Guys this year?
Well, greg, interesting indeed.

You know, I was ashamed to see all the Christmas (oh no, not the "C" word !!!) stuff in our shops BEFORE halloween - something that has not occurred, at least down here in London/Essex ever before. Well not to my knowledge anywayup !.

But, now you mention it, I have not seen ANY guys at all, I have noticed that the custom is fading somewhat, and I usuall see one, or maybe if I am lucky, two, but have not see ANY.

Some customs die, and some live on, let's be thankful that FOLK lives on !!!!!!!!!

Anyway, we have managed to resurrect the Plough Monday theme, mainly at Whittlesey Strawby ...

Loved the question from WFDU Ron - I take it he IS from the US of A and that they do not have anything like it over there ...
