Mayor Making Ceremony, High Wycombe (2)
This photo shows the new Mayor of High Wycombe being weighed in, with the Lady Mayoress on the left. The Mayor and the Corporation of High Wycombe are weighed in today in full view of the public to see whether or not they have been getting fat at the ratepayers' expense. If the "macebearer", who is between the Mayor and Lady Mayoress, calls out the weight and the words "And no more!", the crowd cheers as a sign of their appreciation and gratitude for hard work done for the community. However, if he shouts "And some more!" it means the mayor and corporation have been indulging in too much good living at ratepayers' expense and the crowd jeers and boos.
