I shall very much look forward to reading and seeing how the week develops.<br /><br />As a child, the 1960s saw a great craze sweep across the country as the hula-hoop made its entry into Britain. I became quite good at it but never of competition standard. I am afraid to say some people, attempting records - hours of hula-hooping - died!!<br /><br />Happy Easter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-67289235747085937012010-04-02T17:34:38.195-10:002010-04-02T17:34:38.195-10:00Haven't been to Hawaii, but I have seen hula d...Haven't been to Hawaii, but I have seen hula dancers at Disney's Polynesian (does that count as authentic?), and I have to agree with those Victorian assessments!
