Why Do We Cross Arms When....

[cupid04]

Singing Auld lang syne?

[DaisyNonna]

To keep warm!

[Hopkirk]

.. and why do we sing that most people don't understand?

[Buenchico]

At a guess:
If you hold hands 'the normal way' with someone they can dance two arms length away from you, which is hardly 'bonding the group together'. Crossing arms forces everyone together, symbolising unity.

To stop the jocks picking our pockets.

Come on, cupes, no need to put him on the naughty step for a small typo.

[tonyav]

LOL, naughty step for you as well, Chris.

[gness]

Tony's typo isn't small.......☻

[tonyav]

Also, tony couldn't care less, gness.

[jeffa]

Anyway, back to the plot, isn't the joining of hands just a simple expression of togetherness? Is there any more to it than that?

[gness]

Oh, knickers.....was I supposed to keep that to myself?.... :-(

[DaisyNonna]

Picking a sporran could be embarrassing!
