Re: Oh come off it!

First off I wasn't defending the time capsule at all. Secondly, while the UNESCO rule change may have something to do with the suggestion of a time capsule, I don't know enough about it to comment. What I can say is the education initiative was a goal long before the hole was noticed in Silbury and it is part of a number of initiatives that are vital to the future safeguarding and recovery of history of the site. Which should be clear from the next point.

Lastly, I hope I need say no more to underline the unique importance of getting the local community onside than relay some stop press. Representations re the time capsule suggestion, have been made by locals. Who to and how many I can't say, but I do believe the source I heard it from, so don't lets snipe at the best positioned allied troops eh ?

Living in the WHS doesn't do much for locals, but like JFK ask yourself what they might do for their country.
