  1. What a family. Dad:

    > Jonny Clothier was refused graduation at Bristol University over unpaid bill relating to flatmateā€™s bird… his old flatmate had a parrot which, after being left unsupervised, had free run of their university accommodation and was said to have wrecked the place

    Mum:

    > graduated in Russian and French in 1985 and was approached to work for MI6. She worked extensively in Russia and went on to make TV documentaries

    > is building a contemporary net-zero treehouse in the Forest of Dean

    1st child:

    > operatic tenor in London and works as an art dealer specialising in the work of Banksy

    2nd child:

    > graduated in law in 2023 and was a ski instructor in Japan

    3rd child:

    > looking for a career in sustainability having recently represented England at lacrosse in Portugal

  2. Disappointed that the parrot wasn’t called Perseverance and it didn’t belong to his aunt who he lived with.
