The mention of Morris dancing conjures up many images: The first is the traditional English village green, birds singing and the sun shining. The second is a lot of overweight bearded men leaping about and waving hankies in the air. Others see it as a pagan and almost barbarian rite that has remained since the Dark Ages and try to ban it.
