And it is to the grounds of the 500-acre Yorkshire Sculpture Park, near Wakefield, where he first worked in 1983, that Goldsworthy now makes a fitting return for the largest ever exhibition of his work.

The resulting brew would put hair on your chest; the only way to make tea that strong drinkable was to shovel so much sugar into it that it became a sort of chemistry experiment, testing the absorptive capacity of a cupful of water. Oh, and - together with the iced and sticky buns - sweet tea also led to (how can we put this nicely?) those distinctive dental challenges that identify baby-boom Brits...
