This was originally taken as part of the evidence-base for my PhD, the null hypothesis of which is that 'Bronzed Adonis of Her Majesty's Armed Forces Will Always Get More Attention Than Weedy Conservationists'
[As expected my plaintive cries of "Look at me, look at me, I'm over here" got no response whatsoever].
However I've recently realised that I have also captured probably the only modern record of the old English practice of Buttocke Scrunchynge. Much used by younger ladies as a show of feminine admiration (typically directed at a man of action, good looks or influence) in the early to middle 16th century, and likely to have roots in so-called 'phurtlynge' dating from the Mediaeval period* , the practice was believed to have died out by the mid 17th century as a result of the work of witchfinders including Matthew Hopkins. Court records of the time detail now infamous cases such as that of Mistresse Smythe of Luton, found guilty of bewitching the local squire through the 'most fowle and lewd acte of buttocke scruntchynge'. The poor lady was accordingly burnt at the stake the next day.To say that I was astonished to find the custom alive and well in 21st century Northamptonshire would be an understatement of some scale.
An interesting aside, and one that I'm sure the etymologists among you will already have recognised, is that this largely rural habit may also be the root of the now popular word scrumptious. An informal derivation, or perhaps an imperfect contraction of, the old phrase buttocke-scruntchyngly fitte.
*Suggestions that similar actions were common much earlier and were, for example, removed from the 'cake' scene in Asser's Life Of King Alfred (893) by later translators to better accord with modern mores, seem unlikely.
