Bill Bailey tells a nice story of being at Stonehenge for the summer solstice when the modern pretend Druids turned up in their robes with silly trumpets, inc William Roache - Ken Barlow of Coronation Street.

The hippies instantly started a low chant," KenBarlooo " - he didn't see the funny side at all.

Integral of sine is cosine (and v.v.) so it goes on getting warmer for a month or two yet...
