Given that the steel Atkinson supports have clearly buckled under the strain of holding up all that 'stable' chalk, what odds do Skansa put on a few sheets of corrugated sheeting doing the job now that water has an easier ingress to the hill via the stonking great hole up top?
See, it's that kind of info that's not coming out from EH. On one hand we hear about continued chalk settlement, and see it for ourselves - remember Amada Chadburn went white on the TV prog when she heard it falling!. On the other you've come on here saying that a few corrugated steel sheets make it all safe, and EH themselves seem to be rather unconcerned despite the evidence of their own eyes.
Can you not see that there is a plain conflict between those two viewpoints that people want resolved? Alll we want is the information to be able to decide for ourselves what the state of play is. I think the time for any blame as to the current state of the hill is long gone. It's now all about what can be done to stabilise and preserve it, in the safest way possible. Corrugated sheeting doesn't cover it, sorry!
