The old deletion debates are funny. Almost everyone thinks it is a hoax.

remembers it correctly though, "the first time I saw ferret legging was in the mid sixties [...] this is an activity that is pretty much limited to rural shows and fetes as such it probably wont ever be authoritatively documented."
On the
talk page, a self-declared Yorkshireman pronounces it a hoax which is "racist claptrap" against Yorkshire folk - and demands evidence! He's completely wrong and can't be much of Yorkshireman if he doesn't remember the old ferret-up-the-trousers act.
There's actually a photo of "ferret legger"
supremo Reg Mellor on the BBC website, where Mellor appears to be sticking a ferret in his mouth!
