Cursuswalker wrote: The statement to Meridian said that they were given permission to film "around the public area of the Long Man" What the living F**K does that mean?? Oh yes....their "manager" went down there and confirmed there was no damage. Would that be the same idiot who gave permission for this fiasco in the first place? The same man in who stands to be in even more s**t if there is damage? The same man who isn't even an archaeologist??

Simple answer? Yes. You might want to note that the NT excuse for allowing Big Brother to fake their logo next to Uffington was that they were getting paid for it whereas with fake trickery it could be done anyway. This is not a legitimate excuse of course as has been demonstrated by how many hill figures have been similarly abused since. VBB

Tell Trinny, Susannah and ITV what you think: http://community.itv.com/showthread.php?t=32981 It would be good for the thread to stay at the top of the Board.
