Bainbo,

"So a, I've said in a previous thread, it's about having a good time, and maybe giving people some pleasure. And maybe showing off a bit. Keeping traditions alive comes pretty far down the list of priorities."

I am with this, seems true and was certainly what Heddington were up to on that famous day.

Mr Red,
I have heard all the stuff and it sounds quite plausible. A bit short any evidence perhaps?
