Our leaders have been inspired by the Scythians for at least the last 100 years (There it is, letters and numbers in the same sentence), so maybe we too could draw inspiration from them......from Herodotus (who I of course have not read) quoted in "Black Sea".....
After the burial...they set up three poles leaning together to make a point (see? it's a f*ck*ng teepee) and cover them with woollen mats....they make a pit in the centre beneath the poles and throw red hot stones into it....they take the seeds of the hemp and creeping under the mats they throw it on the red hot stones, and being thrown, it smoulders and sends forth so much steam that no Greek vapour bath could surpass it. The Scythians howl in their joy at the vapour bath.
