[Magdalen] Pancake/Waffle Time.

[Michael Bishop]

Pancakes and Shrovetide measls happen in many places in England too. But 
if you want to really celebrate Shrovetide, you need to go to Ashbourne 
in the County of Derbyshire, There they have the Royal Shrovetide 
Football played on a "pitch" about 3 miles long right through the town
