    Talking If James Cronin Ruled the World

    Imagine if you will... somewhere in the mid Pacific, in a hollowed out volcano, in front of a gigantic map of the world covered in twinkling lights, James Cronin sits in a huge swivel chair stroking a white fluffy cat. Finally his plan for world domination is complete. The evil LeRoc banished to a distant memory, society has finally succumed to the advances of Ceroc.

    James Cronin finally owns the world, and he's ready to make some changes! The first thing to go is the old way of greeting people. No longer can people shake hands in the old way. From now on it will always be... man's left - lady's right and Camber is now a bank holiday so everyone can attend.

    What other laws and changes do you think James would make?

    now come on....do you really think he'd give anything away for free?

    on our 18th birhday we'd all be required to pay a £1 membership fee, and there would be no more 18th birthday parties, 'cause we'd have freestyles instead.
    All licenced premises would be required to install a sprung dance floor

    All shoes would be bought from Ceroc shoes inc.

    Santa would wear black and orange.

    There'd be more street cleaners, so we could all wear dance shoes all the time (thus wearing them out faster, so we can buy more shoes!)\

    All Holiday resorts would be required to have a ceroc teacher, and two dance halls, open till 6am.

    Modern Jive would become the newest curricular subject to be integrated into the school day - starting at nursery of course. This would replace Religious and Moral Education because it wouldn't be needed any more.

    History would become history of dance.

    Geography would only look at countries where dance has evolved.

    Maths would only look at the numbers 1-8 (in every language).

    Modern Studies would be Modern Studies of Dance.

    Music and PE would be combined to stress musical interpretation.

    Manchester would become Manspin
    York would become Yo-yo
    Sandbach would become Hatchback
    Peterbro' would become Prezelbro'
    The Houses of Parliment would be moved to Blackpool Tower Ballroom

    Funny, as important as the work he did with Ceroc was, there are probably many more people benefiting form the work he's been doing setting up churches in places like Auckland and Jacksonville. I've found out more about the real James Cronin when I started going to St Mary's church than when I was working for Ceroc.

    Once Jimmy C has taken over the world...

    Everyone will have to do National Service - 3 months working as a soup waiter. This is to remove any bouncing hand tendancies.

    I don't think it was ever "officially" called that (or any variation thereof) - but the name Ceroc used to be explained as a diminution of the phrase "C'est le Roc", note the use of punctuation there because it's important...

    That explanation was changed a while back, and now the official explanation is that it's a "fusion of jive and salsa".

    Although to be fair, I doubt the first explanation ("It's like what the French dance") is particularly truthful or realistic either, but they both sound better than "It's a simple made-up partner dance"

    Nope, I meant that there's a clear difference between "C'est le Roc" and either "C'est LeRoc" or "C'est Le Roc".

    On such differences is the world of trademarking founded...

    Well, when I asked him in 1987, he explained it to me as being a contraction of "C'est Le Roc'n'Roll", if that helps. (And he did say he'd learned it in France BTW).
