PRESENTER (CONT):
Crop Circles again. As the sun rose over Aberdeenshire this morning, locals were astonished to discover a spectacular and highly-detailed crop circle more than THREE hundred metres in diameter in a field of WHEAT.

The British Cropcircle Guide believes both circles to be the work of someone they call 'The Troll'. When asked how their suspect could possibly have created two such huge and intricate circles so far apart during the same night, a BCG spokesman replied "He's got a bike".

ENDS.

ITSSS A PANDEMIC

Crop circles are a bit '90s.
Couldn't you think of anything else to use that began with C?

Its very good.

I'm not sure if wheat is grown that far north though.

Thanks, BF. I'm glad you liked it.

And I can assure you barley is grown in Aberdeenshire.

Yes, Juan. It's totally topical, given the recent spate of postings about crop circles in Critique.

I'm sure everybody knows that.

Ooh, that's a pretty one.
Has some artistry - is actually worth doing.

I think I'm missing something with this sketch.
The bike line is quite amusing.
