- enough (but all insured!)
So are you a proponent of the yew bee whistle - cut with a blunt axe at midnight by a young maiden and lovingly polished on her inner thigh (bit difficult around here as not many maidens around old enough to be allowed out that late)
Or a staghorn whistle - the stag (not a pricket) stalked over the moors naked with but a dab of woad, and when cornered bludgeoned to death with a stout blackthorn club? and the whistle then carved with a silver hilted knife?
I believe people in the South West have an unfair advantage with the second as they can use the RSPCA deer sanctuary - where they kindly keep the deer starved and in poor condition to make the stalking easier.
bee whistle it is then!
