the White Cockade dance tune ,I know, is not in 6/8 .
Just to make myself absolutely clear the person who sang the blue cockade was not an idiot because he sang blue cockade,but for other reasons,and yes I shouldnt have described him as an idiot.
when it talked about meaningless,I meant in a Political sense,of course it has a meaning to show of hands,as regards local and family sentiment. .
