Subject: RE: Folklore: Padstow 'Darkie Days'
The first point and only point I make in my previous post is that mumming, black face, guising is tradtional with over a thousand years of documented evidence.

Something that was either denied earlier in this thread to a lesser or greater extent depending on the poster.

This a purely factual post. I ask again can you accept that
blacking up has been in the uk tradtion for over a thousand years?
