VBB,
"Nigel does do a reasonable Elvis swivel when he is in the cereal aisle of Safeways and is trying to make it to canned goods against the cross-flow on a Saturday morning, but he can't sing !"

You may well laugh in your cheap fashion, but as the vice chairman of the Cardiff Students Folk Club 1964/5 I know all about keeping an audience enraptured.

As for the tangent in the rest of this thread I think there's a germ of an excellent idea in Littlestone's suggestion, and the tangent confirms it's power. Who can doubt that Silbury's best interest, whatever it is, is best served by it being in the public spotlight, or that lack of transparency has been the whole problem from the start?

I am reminded of the words of my schoolfellow, John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton (1834-1902) –

""Everything secret degenerates; …..nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity"
