When you get to the office, make sure your security pass is safely tucked away somewhere right at the bottom of your oversized handbag. And whatever you do, don't try to remove it before you get to the door. That way you can block the entrance for everyone else while you rummage around through your purse, hankies, make-up, magazines, bills, receipts, chocolate bars and whatnot...

The folk singer Sedayne here examines the evidence and suggests that the 'pagan' origins for the Green Man were probably a Victorian fiction.
