I'm disappointed - the thread title misled me. I expected a 'wardrobe malfunction' picture!

Not a bad article although as Richard says, very selective in coverage.

I suspect this article has been lying around for a fair bit and got published into an available free space, given
- the John Sergeant references,
- phrases like Look out for them in North East pubs and folk festivals this summer,
and
- the fact that the Torygraph has caught up with the Morris Ring's 'old fat misogynists are stopping dancing == Morris is dying' press release a mere, ooh, 6 or 7 months after every other news organisation ran with the story?
