yes shame the beeb can't do research - Barmpton? where and what is that - "Bampton" is what they mean. I also found the whole article a bit snide, "wasting the lord chancellor's time etc." pity. It is the shame the english can not be more comfortable with their traditional dance form.

Be grateful. Can you imagine the results if the government took a serious interest in morris and really set the dogs on?

Most of the people in the morris side have at one time or another worked with my other half. Some of them still do.

Eeeh..... I remember when I worked for the RAF and there was a Morris side that claimed the altitude record for dancing the Morris..( can't remember the name unfortunately) They'd all got together in the cargo hold of a Hercules and danced while they flew

A few years ago, Calverton Morris (Calverton Real Ale and Plough Play Preservation Society: CRAPPPS) danced a mile underground (Calverton was a mining village at the time) and a mile above ground (in a plane, of course!).
