Gilly Fraser Ceremony


A long, long time ago – I cant quite remember…….In the year 1998 BC (Before Common Riding).  There was a man who lived in a shoe called Barry Shaun Ian Gary Craig Colin Michael Martin Jamie Fraser.

He came from a proud equestrian family.  However, due to a rare tropical disease (thought to be caught at the Dook Stane) he was no longer able to mount his steed.

He was shunned by has family and was shipped off to Samy Ling.

During his time in solitary confinement, whilst smoking his peace pipe, an image appeared before him in the smoke. 

He set to work to create his vision.  32 Ύ days later his mission was complete.  He stood back and admired ……. His big, bright red shiny chopper.

For all of you who thought that the Scottish inventor Kirkpatrick MacMillan invented the bike – this is just a myth.

This was his opportunity to be reunited with his family.

He mounted his big, bright red shiny chopper and pedal power prevailed. 

As he fled for freedom all that he left behind was dust and orange flapping robes.

However, his freedom was nearly short lived - as Big George Lockerberry nearly cleaned him up on the first corner on his wood wagon.  He got a wobble on and his fillip filop flipped off.

He travelled for 42 ½ days and 42 ½ nights – he had the village in his sights.

He sped by the White Gate, only pulling in once to let Pelosis by – grabbing a 50p Tub on the way.

He stopped at the monument to snog the sacred sod. 

With a salute to Dick and his dog he headed home.

His family welcomed him with open arms.  They praised his wonderful invention.

This was the beginning of our New Ancient Tradition.

The Fraser family have been strong supporters of our Common Riding ever since.

Even today his Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Grand-daughter twice removed …….. from the shoe ……… Gilly Fraser – the World Famous News Correspondent – says

“YOU DO HAVE THE BEST COMMON RIDING OF THE LOT”
