Was anyone in Oxford yesterday and why were there thousands of Morris dancers there?

Arrogant bunch of show offs if you ask me. I asked one woman why all their faces were black (had never seen this before in Morris dancers) and she answered 'Because we're Morris dancers'. Dur!

Just want to jangle their bells and have everyone look at them. FFS they weren't even dancing!

morris dancers mak eme feel queasy

Were the alternative Morris Dancers there? The ones that display partial nudity and all their piercings? I think they're from San Francisco .

I LOVE Morris Dancers. When I was little my hippy mother used to take us to Folk Festivals and we loved the Morris Dancers and all that country dancing, when we were children it was great, when you got to the 'swing your partners' bit, the grown ups would whizz you round in the air

Partial NUDITY and piercings Where's the 154 yr old man called Jim who places the accordion in that scenario? It's wrong. Plain wrong.

bumping and grinding for madamez

Women morris dancers are not authentic though

re black faces - does Morris not come from Moorish? Or have I got that completely wrong
