Mr Punch

Or Weston-super-Mud as it's also known! Happy Days with an ice cream on the pier. I know someone who does Punch & Judy shows (and is a member of the P&J Fellowship) I did ask about the non-PC side of it and he tailors it according to his audience plus he tries to throw in topical quips. He does get a lot of bookings, mainly childrens' parties but also much in demand at the local ploughing matches!

Do they have ploughboys at those then, Anna?

Not now Mr Housman, no!

Of course they do Ammy! Ploughboys Aplenty!! Ploughing matches are great fun, there's a lot of skill in producing a perfect furrow and negotiating tricky bends Plus there's entertainment, beer tents, stick the tail on the ferret, all good fun, almost as good as the hedging and ditching competitions ...........

... ah, Weston super Mud / Merde/ Mer, what memories of childhood you arouse! Yes, the donkeys, the mud, the punch'n'judy . It was the nearest "sea" side from our little Wiltshire village, and in various clapped out limos we strove to get there in the 1950s and 1960s when the weather was half way bearable, or even when not. However when we could afford cars that were a bit more reliable we ventured a leetle further - and found Studland and Swanage more salubrious. But no punch'n'judy there, and no donkeys as far as I remember...

{Studland} - may be so now, or in your dreams, o amar-teurest - but was very sober and sedate and national trusty in the 1960s and 1970s
