Not exactly dancing Yorkie - some whilst doing this activity do, indeed, dance a little whilst doing it, but they don't get a good reputation ! Certainly not in them days ! The second massive clue is that the Scottish variation was in Clydebank ! Actually this is less to do with the activity - more the time of doing it.
Nothing to do with ships Yorkie. As a matter of fact, on the day in question in Blackpool there were no buses or trams running and most people went on foot to witness the event. They were actually making history but didn't know it.
All yours Frenchie. Playing football on Christmas Day was traditional in England up to the end of the 50s but Blackpool continued doing it until 1965, with the last game being a 4-2 win against Blackburn. Scotland continued with this for another decade.
Thanks cologne. What is the longest period of time for a player between FA Cup Final appearances, and who was it?
