We got the idea from somewhere else, developed it into something 
distinctive, and the majority of the population lost interest long ago?

It's the red waterproof behind the door, thanks....

Good Grief.  I am an intelligent man, and I know b*llocks when I read

I have a nasty feeling it may exist, and that Joseph Porter may be involved.
It would make a certain kind of horrible sense.

I'll bet it's more to do with Morris dancers having immunity from some 
of our newer regulations relating to public performance.

Oh, yes. And any fule kno that blackface derived from the coal smoke. Or
maybe from the sheep that strayed onto the lines before the invention of
fence-posts (which of _course_ is why people celebrate their invention by
thwacking them together). Or something. But who knew that railways were so
many thousands of years old, and/or came from north Africa ?

Well, there are rutways on Malta dating back to about 600BC, so it's not wholly 
impossible..

http://www.playitback.org/ will, they say, carry the lecture. Just as 
well, because the event itself clashes with going and doing a bit of 
singing.
