Actually, the name of Bishop Gundulfs Morris is Bishop Gundulfs Morris. I know not why, but there is no apostrophe in it.

Ok, here we go. Bishop Gundulf was the Bishop of Rochester. He designed the cathedral - or a large part of it. As far as I know, if didn't actualy have his own Morris side. Our Morris side was called Bishop Gundulf Morris by way of reference to the fact that we come from Rochester. In our lazy language, we then get refered to as Gundulfs or ...

... Bishop Gundulfs Morris. This NOW implies that we are the Morris side belonging to the Bishop. Whilst not HISTORICALY true, the use of the s implies a GRAMMATICAL truth. SO - merely to maintain standards in the use of English grammar, that is why there is an apostrophe in our name - and as long as I am with the side - there always will be!

The most frequent spelling on the website is without an apostrophe. I am sure I remember Blossom telling me that the apostrophe disappeared somewhere in the mists of time, so that the absence of the apostrophe is now traditional.

I(fisheye) state: The English language is being raped enough, what with all the 'PC' we have to contend with, lets at least keep the apostrophe in Bishop Gundulf's. Then I can add it to my computer dictionary.

EPISCOPI SIGILLVM GVNDVLFI. I am told (not a latin reader myself) that this means "By his seal he is known"
This maybe why Gundulf's men balance their balls on their noses :-)
(It also aids "Going over your own sword")

From: Richard Bridge

My latin is very rusty, but I think sigillum is a neuter noun meaning a seal, and therefore in that form is nominative, vocative, or accusative.

Episcopi is genitive and means "of the bishop".

Gundulfi is the genetive form (I think) of the name Gundulf or Gundulfus and is therefore in apposition with Episcopi.

So the phrase means "Tne Seal of Bishop Gundulf" and the representation of it in a circle is I suspect a representation of that seal.

Latin scholars please correct if necessary.

Hoff/BG - I don't know which website you are looking at for Bishop Gundulf's Morris, but I have just looked at it and EVERY time our name is mentioned - it includes an apostrophe!! the exceptions are for email addresses, such as my own - [e-mail] - as you are not allowed to have them in email addresses. I suspect that you may be looking at the old web site!!!????

Odetta - had a little chiropractic care to eliminate e(bass) string buzz (reshape of the saddle and adding shims to raise the action), new lighter guage Newtones, a strap button added and resticking of pick guard.

I miss her and cannot wait to be reunited this Sunday. RB's little Lamaq is nice but just not enough there to hide behind.

In the UK - all forward facing seats in motorhomes and campervans must have seatbelts if you want to use them as passenger seats. Seats that face in to centre of van need no seatbelt.

I did a check when we were looking to buy campervan, because I wanted to use as MVP when hauling family and friends around.

I don't know if that answers your question.

Pete

The information below relates to the fitting of seatbelts and the wearing of seatbelts by adults. There is specific legislation, introduced in 2006, concerning the carrying of children in vehicles.

For vehicles built up to Oxtober 2007 there was no legal requirement to have seat belts fitted to side-facing seats or seats that make up the accommodation area in motor caravans.
Regulation 46 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, as amended, states motor caravans first used on or after 1st April 1982 but before 1 October 1988 shall be equipped with anchorage points for the driver's seat and specified passenger seat (if any); and for motor caravans first used on or after 1st October 1988 shall be equipped with anchorage points for the driver's seat and any forward-facing front seat.
snip

So it is up to the driver and adult passengers whether they want to take the risk.

The pub has had its beer engines and pipes refurbished and there are now two working handpumps.

One is currently running Shitfire - which will probably all be gone by Sunday, leaving the other one.

All persons of a wobbly disposition should bring a nurse and a wheelbarrow, to enable them to be poured out at the end of the session -
