I might add that before moving to the NW two years ago I'd never heard of Fluffy Morris. The first hint came from a headline in the local paper: Morris Dancers Trash Marine Hall Foyer! Whereupon my wife explained that it wasn't our type of Morris Dancers and did her best to detail the heritage and the glory of Fluffy Morris. Fascinating stuff, and not in the least bit folky and yet it occupies Warshavers First Level of Folklore in a way our (folky) type of Morris quite evidently doesn't!

Thanks for the above, Ed - further enlightenment in this respect most welcome.
