It is a fact of life - the number of Yoof at ceilidhs has reached crisis point. It is the place to be. That means inappropriate behavior is to be expected. Not condoned or accepted but personal risk assessment demands that we EXPECT bad behavior once the clues are presented.

As for liquid on the dance floor - at Bromyard one steqrding crew put chairs in the middle of the floor and stood by it. How booze gets in the middle of the floor is inappropriate behavior. Why can't they walk around the dance floor?

Another day I spotted a wet area just on the side, ripe for cracking bones on the edge of the raised floor. I rushed to the entrance, picked-up the bucket and mop, and asked if they could mop the floor. They looked at me dageers (man assuming it is woman's work). I had to say, "water, danger, stewards duties!" and she sort of sheepishly said "Show me". The point is stewards are always on duty (me) where there is danger and the duty steward doesn't know what has happened - but they must react. Thy don't always think and I have vowed to take an industrial roll of mop-up paper next year.

I am constantly kicking away/picking-up loose: paper, glow bangles, shards of Morris sticks, and other detritus from the dance area. Not because I am a really nice guy (modesty forbids) but because I may be one of the victims. As an energetic dancer I have more reason than most.

I intend to be dancing in my grave - tendons and bones must not prevent that.
