Ooh, yes please! But only if it was dig out of a sacred monument, please...
Now then, young man - I'm sure you know that my point about the tyres was to point out that seemingly not EVERYTHING was being documented correctly. :o)
But I'm happy to be corrected.
I'm not a tyre obsessive. Honest.

I believe we all have a little Tyre fetish somewhere, bit like diabetes.
But then, if you'd met her...http://www.tyreah.com/tyrecave2.jpg
I'd like to know if they have anything that will fit a 2005 Transit though...

True, Nigel, but having spent weeks at Silbury as archeo-in-charge one would think he'd feel a degree of responsibility for what happened to the tunnel once his 'work' was finished there. Perhaps he did, and got the same trickle of information from EH's predecessors as we are getting from the present lot.

Well, it's not archaeology unless you go to the pub after a day's work!.....
Anyone heard from Fachtna McAvoy recently?
Does this not imply that he was last seen drinking ale in a Wiltshire pub ?

As the implications of answering yes to that question are unknown, I'll just say nothing.

However I would like to state that Fachna is indeed an excellent archaeologist in all respects.
Good health to you Fachna.

You said you'd be our champion, a power to our cause
To stand like stones, upright and still, an influential force
Yet when we asked, our hands outstretched, your sense of duty failed
You turned your back, ignored our pleas, our trust in you derailed
You promised us your guardianship, is this how a guard behaves?
Can't you feel ten thousand corpses turning in their graves?
No passion in your governorship, a task but nothing more
Then ditch the burden as your predecessor did before
Oh, to see each promise kept, not cast aside with fear
No 'popular decisions' with one eye on your career
Just sense and sensitivity for all that could be lost
Preserving England's heritage, no matter what the cost
