Video of Jorvik Viking Festival procession from the Minster to Coppergate:
Slept off my Viking drinking horns of John Smiths & Theakston now!
I thoroughly enjoyed the video, thank you for posting it. Very enthusiastic paraders with great outfits their weapons and other accoutrements. I was a bit disappointed though in not seeing many fair haired maidens :rolleyes: still it is nice to see so many keeping their history and traditions alive.

So your saying their hand may have been forced. I am not surprised of course.
I recall many of us in the States getting verklempt quite often over the past couple decades at PayPal, eBay, etc limiting transactions that on the surface to US to be restrictive of our freedoms, and of course blaming domestic progressives.
I’ve always reminded folks that such businesses operated in a global internet environment, and the easiest way to limit risk is to default to the strictest they operate in.
While that changes with the regs of the times and markets, it makes sense to me.
