Well indeed Child Morris and may I say how brave it is for you to come in here and risk getting your head sliced off again. I too like Dogrose a lot, as well as the Offsprings. The difference is that Dogrose is a young Morris side that sprang from the 'grownup' Whiterose quite a few years ago now and they rehearse and perform together like a conventional side (except when being part of the Demon Barber Roadshow). The Offsprings are not a side but comprise a number of representatives from several sides such as Ripley and Newcastle Kingsmen (I think) and others including Dogrose, brought together for specific performances. To create artificial arguments that one if 'better' than the other is just stupid. Almost as stupid as Skipjack K8's sexist remark above.
