Clog fighting

Postby AlanP » Mon May 01, 2006 4:26 pm

Quote:Clog fighting, locally called 'purring' was a means of settling disputes. Both the fighting and the betting among spectators was illegal.
It is all up and down fighting here. They fought quite naked, excepting their clogs. When one has the other down on the ground he first endeavours to choke him by squeezing his throat, then he kicks him on the head with his clogs. Sometimes they are very severely injured.

Sounds like a typical friday night out, up north :wink: Which of you lot said you were going to Rob's do again? :lol:
Personally I think we should send up Breako to sort out the rabble and apply some proper Sabotage to Rob's machines.... who needs Mallets! :wink:
