Bloody Hell - synchronicity or wot! Was just about to start a sub thread entitled Drop the Hill. Have avoided using the word Hill when talking about Silbury for sometime now as the word just doesn't do the structure justice.


Synchronicity Alert!
er... I don't think the (very) VenerableBottyBurp said "Drop the Hill".

Yes certainly if the Tap turn up as a late booking.

Will Heritage Action be sending inspectors to monitor the 'acoustic' damage? Looking forward to the podcast!

(Happy birthday VenerableBottyBurp BTW)
