"Lancashire County Council have reportedly told The Britannia Coco-nut Dancers their most recent performance breached health and safety rules". I got this from a friend in Marsden (who saw it in today's "Daily Mail". It seems the council sent spies to watch the performance last year. When I lived in Marsden, myself, Mrs Viking and the little Vikings all went to see this spectacular each year as we had friends who live in Bacup.This is just another nail in British traditional culture as far as I can see.
