Woodfidley.....there's going back.
That last paragraph of Poppagator makes a lot of sense.
Generalising from the particular - I have known a number of men's ritual dance teams.
There are some who come from the song tradition and therefore follow a left-ish trend from that area.
Some teams get an influx from one well-connected member - my own team had an influx of left-wing catholics.
I know of one morris team whose new members for a while consisted of members of the local camera branch!
