So whose fault is this perception gap? Ours partly, and the education system for not stressing the cultural importance of prehistoric stuff. Mind you, a few more signs would help. No-one puts a toe on the lawn round Warwick Castle as they're requested not to every ten yards. Absolutely (though we're back to the 'sign or not to sign' debate). Personally I'm very pro-sign. The general disappearance of dog poo from our streets is due to a campaign of signing and poo boxes. Pity the same can't be said for litter. Round here you'll go a fair way before seeing a 'don't litter' sign - and the litterlouts are mainly kids and younger people (which supports your statement that the education system is not stressing the problem at school). So what about ancient sites? If the quangos won't put up signs maybe we should. Nothing to stop us getting a laminator and leaving signs at our favourite places. The signs might not last very long and will probably get blown or taken away but it's better than doing nothing. What does the sign say? Up to individuals I guess but how about something like - This is an Ancient and Sacred Site. Please respect it by not climbing on it or damaging it in any way. If you make offerings here please take them away with you when you leave Reply | with quote |  11th July 2006ce 06:58 In reply to: Re: Rocks? (nigelswift) |
