Re the 'try everything once' quote -- A belief appears to have grown up that it was Oscar Wilde who said "Except Morris dancing and incest". Where is he supposed to have said it? And wasn't it a bit early, he being somewhat before the rise of the Morris movement with Kimber, Sharp et al [Wilde d 1900]?

Googling gives eg "Try everything once. Except incest and folk dancing" - Sir Thomas Beecham. He seems a far more likely candidate, and "folk dancing" perhaps the more likely prohibition.
