There seems to have been a spelling error in the original post. Surely it should have read "What is Morris dancing Four?" - though it could equally well have been "What is Morris dancing Five?" The answer to both questions is: "It's what happens outside the pub if the Bagman fails to persuade at least six of the idle b*****s to turn out, and the rest have to improvise." Fortunately, this hasn't happened very often with our lot - though sometimes I've been left standing outside the pub for what felt like a very long time, waiting for the cavalry to arrive.
