What did the Synod of Whitby decide about the angels and the pins anyway?
They pondered the question for a long time, Jim, and found that everyone had their own opinions and nobody agreed with anyone else. The more they thought, researched, discussed and argued, the more depressed and sullen they became. Then one of the Synod's brightest brains had a brilliant idea, He stood up and shouted, "I've got it! Some questions don't have answers; this 'angels' and 'pins' thing is one just like..... well let me think for a minute..... yes, just like 'Can a pop song become traditional?' So instead of wasting our time on things that we can't answer, why don't we approach Malcolm Storey and ask him to start a Whitby Folk Week. He'd probably do it for years... decades even... and we could all help him out as stewards!"
There was an immediate round of applause and cheers and shouts of "Great idea!".
So that is what they did and, do you know, they became much happier people afterwards.
