Sunday Morning Coffee Cruise - Burford - 10 May

[BartyB]

As we are in serious danger of getting off topic (and we wouldn't want that would we?) but the current thread has significant therapeutic and soporific value (particularly to OAPs), we are considering starting a new thread in the R31 area under the heading: Traditions, Myths, Alternative Uses for Personal Protection Equipment and Other General Daftness in the Cotswold Region. We think this is the way to go. Hope you agree.

Well as they say in the trade-you're the moderator ,so be moderate-however I am very happy to enjoy your Cotswoldian mutterings & add some Northern sense now & again -after all,that's what's made this county great![]

Having sought input on the subject at this week's Club night you'll be pleased to hear we've decided to maintain the status quo and not create a separate thread. #DemocracyInAction

Good choice as they say if it 'ain't broke form a sub-committee, change the whole nature of it, introduce an updated version that looks like the original then deny it was ever changed.

Enjoying Isle of Man clog dancing. Like ours but un-restricted in certain areas.

Not so sure about that-they have 3 feet ( almost a yard as they say in Bradford) & I don't think clogs are available in sets of 3 apart from which ,with the demise of the IOM foundry industry,clog irons & nails are no longer available so residents with imported clogs preserve them in Manx Kipper oil & let them dangle over the family cauldron-of course all this might be just a red herring!

According to my sources, a large quantity of hand-made 3-clog 'Jeg The Peg' branded sets recently came onto the market. This was apparently due to the Australian owner being sentenced to an extended jail term for illegal deviant behavior with minors.

Savvy Manx investors acquired the entire stock and have apparently sold these to Manx clog-dancers who had been using specially adapted cut-down wellington boots since supplies of traditional Manx 3-clog sets dried up in the early 1950s due to the liquidation of The Traditional Manx Clog And Hobnail Boot Company (Manx) Ltd. Manx clog-dancing teams, funded by a consortium of merchant bankers, Fast Buck Investments, have recently opened a national clog-dancing academy with a view to competing in the 2020 Olympics. This may be somewhat premature as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Federation Internationale des Danseurs Sabots (FIDS) have yet to ratify formation clog-dancing as an Olympic sport or locate the Isle of Man on a map.

Ovaltine clearly reaches the parts that artificial aids and cutting-edge medical science cannot..... Schlaf gut und träum was schönes Herr Nunn.
