The Cloggies

|
The Cloggies, an Everyday Story of Clog-Dancing Folk , was a long running cartoon by Bill Tidy which ran in the Private Eye satirical magazine. It gently satirised northern British male culture, and introduced a shocked nation to the scurrilous delights of Lancashire clog-dancing, the Triple Arkwright (a fictionally highly controversial clog-dancing manouevre), and unorthodox activities involving the usage of ferrets.
The sub-title, an Everyday Story of Clog-Dancing Folk, parodied the subtitle to the long-running BBC radio series, The Archers, which was subtitled an Everyday Story of Farming Folk.
