The Work Of The Clotworthy Brothers

One afternoon not long ago, I came upon the Professor relaxing in his conservatory and perusing a dog-eared copy of the unauthorised biography of that fine sportsman William 'Gutta Percha' See. (In my view, the unauthorised and, some say, imaginary biography of Larman Register is a more insightful read - but I forbore from mentioning this). Naturally, we found ourselves in a reflective mood and spent a pleasant hour or so over a cup of broken orange pekoe and a flaky scone reminiscing about the tragi-comic act of the indisputably illustrious Clotworthy Brothers in which they attempted to impersonate trees in the vicinity of late Neolithic stone circles around various parts of our Sceptred Isle. 

Of course,  their later work, in which they strayed into the Early Bronze Age and the minefield of interpretative dance has never been as well received by critics and other malefactors, but we were not so hasty in our judgement on that blessed afternoon.
