In the 80s was in the Silurian Morris Dancers of Ledbury Herefordshire. There I learned that the main purpose of Morris Dancing is to get a lot of free beer. For if you dance at a pub the landlord traditionally stands you a round of best. Unfortunately that didn't help my dancing. The lads said 'Just have another one Dave and you'll get it right'; but they'd hottle-back and I'd hottle-forward. So they eventually gave up on me and put me in the Yeckle: the fool in costume who prances around and collects donations. But the hard work of all that drinking was so exhausting that in fact I had to retire after a few enjoyable years.
