This article portrays Big JO as 'fiftyish'. Anybody else feel this is too old? To have a 4-yr old son, and to be dancing around as part of the 15-mountain all-comers championship winning morris fighters team seems unusual for someone in their 50s. i've always pictured him as more kind of early 40s. true, this doesn't tally with nanny as an old woman, but what's general opinion here, please? --Knmatt 22:44, 29 May 2007 (CEST)

1) I expect a lot of middle-aged morris dancers, athletes, etc. would disagree.

2) This is Lancre.

3) He's Nanny's oldest child (of 15), and Nanny was hardly a late bloomer. She's surely over 70 ...--Old Dickens 22:52, 29 May 2007 (CEST)

Aye, but if'n she can teach other girls to count days so as not to be bearing fruit in the Autumn, surely she could've done the same? --

She could have, but our only source suggests she didn't; the children are mentioned frequently, and Esme complains regularly about Gytha's wanton girlhood.--Old Dickens 23:01, 29 May 2007 (CEST)

OK - this is me: over a barrel. I acquiesce. --Knmatt 23:02, 29 May 2007 (CEST)

Re: addition of 11 Nov. Why simply reiterate the first paragraph in the second? --Old Dickens 15:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Point taken, seems to if into paragraph but you are correct, it's not required -- BOZZ 07:59 12 November 2008
