I'll not answer your question because it is ungrammatical and mispelt and, what is known in Perry Mason terms, as 'leading'.

You've cheered me up now. The story has just taken a little twist. So when I phoned up the coordinator of the rock art survey, who was employed by the county council, about the first ten stones in the Knar valley, that I'd drawn on a map and sent to her, and she said 'they only found one and it was their opinion that they were natural cupmarks', she was being less than truthful? And that they'd actually found two stones off my plan, marked the first one down as 'natural cupmarks' and the second one down as 'portable rock art (new find)'. I still have the original sketch for the little maps, luckily.

Well, I never! The surveyors couldn't see the standing stones, from that gateway, as they are hidden in a dip higher up the hill. (Not far up the hill - fifty metres perhaps). So they were really close to the cluster of stones, but never actually got there, choosing instead to record a grotty eroded stone and then to disappear. And you're supporting that ?

A local conspiracy , sounds like it's at least countrywide if it involves me , maybe even global ?

If you are that concerned about spelling maybe you should learn to spell "Mispelt ?"

Let's see if can answer a very simple question them .

Do you believe that the stones in your Slaggyford pics bear genuine cup marks ?

I have no idea of what the situation in the area is regarding marked rocks , one thing is for sure , none of your pics that I have seen are of rock art .

I've cut and paste this from the Guardian - it's an interview with Jo Brand:


"What annoys you most about people? Hypocrisy, greed, sexism, stupidity?

Easy: bullying. Everyone says Gordon Brown [was a bully] but I don't really believe that. Bullies, true bullies, are those who run a sustained, deliberate, hurtful campaign: his was more down to an explosive temper. No, I never got bullied by Jeremy Clarkson –"

Sustained - deliberate - hurtful. She could be talking of you. I'm used to dealing with it and can look out for myself but I suspect there will be other people that you are treating in this way. Less sturdy ones. I'd like you to stop now ...
