So a little respect for out traditions, just as we are expected to show for yours.

AOG....have you seen the Yorkshire Haka !



" How much, how much ?"

I love it !

Never heard of that phrase before mikey? But I bet it has been used against you many a time.

[mikey4444]

AOG....I have broad shoulders !

[ummmm]

Oh dear Lord...and you have the cheek to say the world has gone PC mad.

[roopower]

Goodness me, what a fuss about nothing.......as if there isn't enough real news at the moment.

I think we should have an AB Limbo challenge later,keep in party mode.

Most 'traditional' dances serve a purpose; they allow the young men of a tribe to 'peacock', or demonstrate their hunting prowess, or their athleticism......and similar things in respect of the women-folk.

To cultures used to such displays they will be wondering what on earth the message is being demonstrated by use of hankies and bells....

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

It has that is why some can feel perfectly free to make fun of our traditions but making fun of other's is a complete no, no.

Double standards at work once again.

AOG....for goodness sake.....lighten up !

[jackthehat]

AOG - It may have escaped your notice but the insolent and uppity foreigners were actually in their own homes (and countries) when they were shown the clips.

Surely you agree with the indigenous peoples of a country being able to give voice to opinions on other races/cultures from the comfort (sanctity) of their own homes?

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not bad at the Clog Dance.

[jackthehat]

My application to be a 'Nutter' is under consideration, I believe, Mamya. :o)

[Mamyalynne]

Am sure you'll pass muster - I do rue the day I set light to my petticoats with the sparks - lesson learned there.


Traditions eh?

[ummmm]

AOG...you're being precious.

I noticed that you conveniently missed out your previously bracketed words (and countries).

Now I can reply, 'IF ONLY'.

Love that video clip mikey.
Have you never seen this AOG?

[jackthehat]

Ah, yes......because that changed the meaning of my post entirely, didn't it?

And these particular people were.....!!!!

[youngmafbog]

Come on chaps Morris dancing is.... well funny !

[ludwig]

Lighten up AOG. Morris dancing is strange and funny if you've never seen it before. They're allowed to be bemused and amused by it.

There are already far too many twits in the world who can't wait to take offence at the slightest perceived disrespecting of their 'culture'. Let's not be one of them eh?
