I bet you hadn't realised (be prepared for a shock!) the Black & White minstrels were really whities blacked up with shoe polish</p> </p>
No they weren't Urban myth mate. They were black people made up as white people who were then made up as black people.
You mean that old curlie haired bloke was married to a school boy Sick pervert. The things I never picked up on when I was a child.</p> Master Bates and Seamen Staines, the Magic Roundabout was about drugs ... no wonder the world is insuch a mess!</p>
Urban Myths part II Master Bates and Seaman Staines never existed, nor did Roger the cabin boy.</p> The Magic Roundabout was not about drigs although the persona of Dylan was based on personal events that happened to the writer.</p> The only version of The Magic Roundabout that is actually listenable is the song by Jasper Carrott. Funny as ****!</p>
