was starting to think begin English I might end up looking like a Morris Dancer

This FAQ kinda agrees with you - a couple of others mentioned the suit+bowler hat.

I am friends with a genuine Morris dancer (from Wickham Morris).

I tried it a couple of times when I was at events with them (no, I did not wear bells and only held one hankie!), Morris music is usually influenced by beer, as you can see from their emblem and main sponsor, and that goes down well with me!
