Floyd: The Pig, The Legend Floyd
is the mascot of the Exeter University Folk Society. He was born in
March 1990 and was adopted by the society when he turned up on their
doorstep in the pouring rain one night, with only a small suitcase full of strawberries and a  wistful smile. In those days he was a clean and innocent, whether he remains so is a matter of opinion.Floyd's young life was eventful and mysterious. He underwent a variety of plastic surgery to develop into the pig we know and love today. Rumours that he changed his appearence to avoid a number of Columbian drug cartels remain unproven. Floyd loves going with the society to the Inter-Varsity Folk Dance Festival (IVFDF) and made history when he was violently kidnapped by Edinburgh University Folk Society. Despite our best efforts to track him down, Floyd was transported around the country to avoid our search parties. He was only handed back at the next festival and was immediately sent for counselling. As a result of Edinburgh's dastardly behaviour, IVFDF law now contains a strict 'anti-mascotnapping' provision. Floyd is now friends with all the IVFDF mascots especially Don the Elephant from Warwick Ceilidh Soc. All hail Don! Despite his traumatic experience, Floyd clearly developed some untreatable form of Stockholm syndrome as in the same year he found marital happiness in the trotters of Flora (an Edinburgh pig).  The couple were married at Gretna Green and, although they are yet to have any children, they are very much in love. Awww.Today Floyd is a very happy and well contented piggy. He recently turned 20 and, as a birthday treat, underwent a full bath and reconstructive surgery. His new cloak is looking particularly dashing. He says that he is looking forward to starting his new hobby of badge collection. and hopes that he has not overdone the botox injections. At least, that's what we think he's squeeking. Our interpreter goes to the pub at lunchtimes. Floyd enjoys playing the whistle, helping make strawberry jam, piggy-backs, and would very much like to make friends with you on Facebook.
