I'm not experienced with regional varieties and have seen Morris Dancing performed less than a dozen times.
The last time was in Richmond upon Thames when I was about 20

There was a hobby horse thing and the guy came up to my friend and snapped its teeth in her face. She screamed (as you do)

It's crazy really a tradition going back far longer than we even had any black faces in England and I have heard no black person who has been slightest bit offended. They are usually puzzled though that's by the entire idea of it not the black faces.

Re: Water confidence lost

We are unfortunate to live in the 'PC Age', where a minority of people - the 'professionally offended' - dictate how we should live our lives.

At any other time in our history they would be ignored or even laughed at but, thanks to our wishy washy government and authorities in general, the whingers know that they have the power to put everyone else in fear of their unfounded accusations.
