Ay up Pilgrim lad, yer being a bit generous there with a 4/10 mark ;-)

Thing that really got me was English Heritage's, Can I volunteer with the Silbury Hill Conservation Project?.* Chuckle and quote... "We are currently recruiting part-time volunteers to work in our Visitor Information Point for July and August, helping our interpretation staff to communicate with the public about Silbury Hill and the project."

Wot's an 'interpretation staff' when it's at home? And if English Heritage want to 'communicate with the public' wouldn't it be better to get their Silbury updates and Ask the Experts page up to speed instead of requiring people to pay and park at Avebury, walk fifteen minutes along muddy pathways to their 'information points', or wait some six weeks for answers to their questions on their Ask the Experts page?

Do get a grip on reality English Heritage... and as for yet another of your cack-handed ideas about having, "...volunteers positioned around the area to record specialists in ancient music performing on replica prehistoric instruments at the top of the Hill." Gordon Bennett! What realm of the time continuum are you actually inhabiting at present?
