KNIGHTS WHO SAY NO - "Some of my friends used to do the rubber-sword live-action Role Playing - dressing up as orcs and running about in the woods, that sort of thing. One Sunday a group were driving back in a van after playing Knights Templar when they saw a bloke pushing a girl about at a bus stop. I often wonder what went through the minds of the bloke and girl when a battered transit van pulled up next to them and a gang of knights in shining armour piled out. They restrained the bloke, hailed a cab and paid to take the girl home, and then gave the man the following homily: 'Remember, son, hitting women is wrong - and we're watching,' before leaping back into the van and screeching away. I wish I'd been there."

Thank you :-D

(Though I have my doubts about people heading home still in kit... )

We've probably all done it at some time. My enduring memory is of husband getting petrol at a garage, wearing shoes, socks and what looked like a green knee-length frock with braid round the hem :)

Well The Yak* used to travel the underground in a full suit of chainmail.

* For those who don't know him, The Yak is is a large, both in height and girth, long-haired blond viking re-enactor. I las saw him at Dover castle about ten years ago telling rune tails for a pound: you draw a rune stone from a leather bag and he tells you a story related to the meaning of the rune.
