Forget Mods and Rockers fighting at Bank Holiday weekends ...

Worcestershire is often criticised for being a county which is behind the times.  It doesn't seem to have speed cameras, for example.  Now, as if to prove  how out of date it really is, here are a couple of Vikings I met this afternoon who were having a fight:



To the death:



(You might have noticed that their farm equipment in the background is quite out of date, too.)

Luckily their fighting seems to be confined to special occasions, in this instance a 'Living History' event at the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings.  The West Mercia Police seem very good at curtailing their raping and pillaging activities, luckily.

Did you travel to watch these in your Time Machine ? :)

These reenactments can be fun.

You don't need time travel in Worcestershire - that's what it's like normally!
