      2. Not at all (too young to remember). Take a look at mine. I even remember a Chancellor who predated Lawson an had equally, or even more famous eyebrows. I met Mr Lawson at breakfast in a hotel in Porto Alegre.

        It was a great prompt. Eyebrow stories just flowed out of me. I had to do some ruthless pruning to cut my list down from the original more than fifty.
        I am proudest of number four, “Bushy…”
        That was actually the first story that sprang into my mind.
