Drive car on bike licence?

That may or may not be true. It certainly has a been suggested by many.

 

Heh, I'd rather take the piss out of Morris dancers than some bloke
with a big ****-off bow that can shoot me.

I've seen grey ones. So that's three of us with the same story... must
be true...

 

You've not been hit on the head with Mr Murray's stick have you?

 

Not a Froggie or ex-pat, but a friend of mine who lives in France
assured me a few years ago that the tiny cars were made especially for
those convicted of drink driving and that they are restricted to
40mph. They seem to be all yellow, but this may be co-incidence.

Something you're trying to tell us?

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Lady Nina

"They" have women who believe they are morris dancers.

"They" are quite happy trampling on thousands of years of English
tradition.

<sigh>

Obviously I exclude North West Clog Morris from this, since there *is* a
tradition of women dancing that.

 

You know, it is true.

Check out this (french) website. The main page tells you 'with or
without driving licence'

http://www.baillycars.com/

They're actually called voiturettes.

Ah but, look at this (french) government site. This concerns a law that
was passed last year (12/06/2003)

http://tinyurl.com/5v5eh

Section 3 does state (additional penalties) that if you're done for
dangerous driving, you can be banned from driving mobylettes scooters
or voiturettes.

I suppose it depends upon what is considered dangerous driving...

My mte Ian dances with Foxes Morris - Three Counties way. They dance
black-face, and they allow wimmin.

It's the end of civilisation as we know it.

 

a) You're assuming a dgeree of accuracy that I bet Prawn, and the rst of
the piss-heads can't achieve.

b) As has been pointed out, have you seen the size of my stave?

Look at it this way - I can deal death and serious injury, but ony
within sticking reach. A pissed Prawn in charge of a proven
death-dealing weapon - nobody within 300 yards is safe, even if wearing
armour.

 

As others say, 'tis true. So when you see one of these things, remember
that it's odds-on that the driver is (a) congenitally incapable of
passing a real driving test or (b) a registered alcoholic or (c) has
been banned for some horrendous motoriung offence or (d) all of the
above.

I give the things a wide berth.

 

You should meet the rest of them. They *are* good on safety protocols
not surprisingly.

 

Oh, you should read my post just above this one. You don't need a
licence, but you can be banned from driving one anyway...

Thought so. I vaguely remember seeing women doing it and thinking hang
on a minute have they any idea of what this is
reenacting/representing/symbolising. Then I think I may have passed
out or been sick. Hot days and alcohol do not mix.

Indeed. And messing with folk lore.

I must pick the brains of the elders in the Lancashire side of the
family before they all shuffle off this mortal coil. There's a wealth
of oral history being lost, though some good projects being run by
various organisations to record it.

 

Shush. The image of you wantonly taking out passing old ladies and
small children was amusing.

OK, but you are going to have problems riding bike, taking a leak etc etc with
your fingers permanently stuck in your ears ....[/QUOTE]

You need to sort your posting out, Bobby.

First your attributions: Prawn didn't say that, it was TOG.

Second, your formatting: you have two indent strings applying to the
same comment, implying it was made by two separate posters.

Third, if you append a signature to your posts, it really needs a
working separator that facilitates automagic sig snipping when
replying.

 

I could combine Lany Nina's suggestion with yours and take out those
French school trips that come over [1].

 

(The Older Gentleman) burbled:

I may have mentioned this before - a few years ago, a Carlisle-based
Morris troop (women play some of the instruments; only the men dance)
were subject to complaints and harassment from the African-American wife
of a local dentist/mountaineer (don't ask), who claimed that their
dancing in black-face was racist and oppressive towards the descendants
of slaves. This made it into the local press, and IIRC even the
national.
