Subject: RE: Has morris become mere 'fun'?
Ahhh - OK Michael. Was it a Morris stick I got the wrong end of though? OK - Now that I understand better I still feel you have it wrong - On 2 counts now.

Firstly - Even judging by the postings to date, no-one has said they consider Morris a 'bit of fun'.

Secondly - Even a 'bit of fun' can be a serious business you know! After all, you said yourself that you sing. I would guess that, like many of us, there is no seriosu application behind that singing (Although I do know of some who use singing as speech therapy!) So, if someone says something is a 'but of fun', they may of course mean that it is not a matter of life or death to them but you cannot just discount the comment as trivialising their enjoyment.
