Sheeesh! And I thought a pewter tankard was a drinking vessel, not a fashion accessory. My tankard used to be lodged at the Ring O' Bells in St.Issey unitl I moved to N. Devon. Then it got moved to my new local at the Top George in Combe Martin. Very satifying drinking proper beer from a pewter pot - and nothing to do with folk music. Eventually it got stolen from backstage at the Bracknell Festival(along with seven others) when it was being used as a prop. for The Everlasting Circle - must have been the Southern Rag tankard mafia.
