Les in Chorlton	Darkie Day - BBC Radio 4 on "The Untold" (89* d)	RE: Darkie Day - BBC Radio 4 on "The Untold"	23 Feb 16
Morris is a fine old tradition. It almost certainly started as a courtly entertainment which escaped into the countryside and has been kept alive for hundreds of years by mostly but not exclusively agricultural working people. That seems to me to be an amazing tradition and well worth supporting and celebrating. But if you cruise Morris websites, some of which go back as far as 1998, you find the usually tripe about pagans, fertility and pre-christian roots. People should say and do what they like, but please try and respect the difference between fact and fiction Best wishes
