Had the great pleasure of watching Hemlock Morris (Bedford) dance at Whitby Goth weekend recently. Some of them 'purple up'. It looks very effective and would probably solve the problem for all....... except perhaps the Purple People Eaters, who might be offended.

Mind you, they also dance mixed morris, very well as it happens, and that probably offends the morris ring.

As some great song-writer once wrote, 'You can't please everyone, so you gotta please yourself.'
