 I am stunned! Is this a regular ting then?
 It doesn't seem to happen over here. Well I did see it once at an
 open air punk concert, which I went to thinking it was a blues thing.

 It just shows how stupid I can be! Mind you I would have expected
 it at a punk gig.

 Maybe we English have too much (or the right amount?) of "cool, British
 reserve" and that stops all but the loonies doing things like this.

 We *are* a strange lot, we English anyway:-)
