Nanny Bans The Maypole

Oh dear, it seems that Nanny has taken an extreme to dislike to yet another harmless British tradition.

This time she has set her sights on that centuries old pastime of dancing around the Maypole on May Day.

Now what could possibly be wrong with that, I hear you ask?

Well, according to Nanny's chums in the Health and Safety department of Sandwell Council in the Black Country, it breaches health and safety regulations.

Therefore, they have banned schoolchildren from dancing around it on May the First.

Miserable bastards!

Anyhoo, it may not have escaped your attention that the Mayypole is a phallic symbol.

Rumour has it Nanny will be banning penis's (or is it penii?) next.

Yikes!
