< I thought stuff like coloured leys were killed off a very long time ago. Please don't let me be wrong on that one ...

Are you being slightly sarcastic there FourWinds!? In the States it's cultural psychology. Check out a book from just a few years back called "The Standing Stones Speak" (they missed the last word off the title - "bollox") - can't remember the authors. It's on one of mi shelves somwehere & is mainstream ETs, angels, crystals, blue lines - the full monty! You've never heard it so good!

A few months back I took a party of tourists walkabout to Ilkley's main sites & half the group (all english) were talking coloured-leys & grids with the conviction of a gospel. I've read just about everything there is on leys, but nothing I said had any real effect on their ET-leys ideas. And such things are growing...

I know. I live in a dream world where people are sensible and it will be the end of me one day ;-)

Did they pay you after you tried to break their belief system into tiny pieces or did you insist on cash upfront?

Perhaps we should have a strand on "what we believe to be true" they did it in the Guardian last week, think RichardDawkins said that he believed that when he died his consciouness ceased to exist... null and void. So, I don't believe that fairies or little people exist in sidhes or barrows, but on the other hand theres an awful lot of good stories and myths come out of it....

When I worked in Carnac one of our customers gave me 'Standing Stones Speak', I don't think I got that far into it before the tales of arch angels comunicating with american pensioners had me tearing out my hair. Still got it somewhere though....
I was at the (thankfully defunct) Archaeoscope in Carnac and some stereotypical (big shorts, socks, shoes, basball hats etc) American tourists were there. 'Gee' said one of them 'I heard these stones were put up by the same aliens who built the pyramids'...
I know all Americans are not like this, but these ones were....
