Don't think I'll be coming this year...

Silbury's rubbish - just full of holes and on the verge of collapsing anyway... How much money would these farmers make, do you think, if they charged £1 per vehicle to park on their empty fields? Would it be as much as the government subsidies they receive for keeping the fields empty?

No thanks - early night for me with a mug of cocoa and a spot of Big Brother.

;o)

LOL watch the lasses fighting on BB eh?
The farmers will open fields for the cross country ramblers but not the smelly hippy solstice types!

"Silbury's rubbish - just full of holes and on the verge of collapsing anyway..."

Stupid boy! Those holes are a unique archaeological record of 18th century mining techniques and must be preserved in situ at all costs. Fortunately, our research suggests they are robust structures and we are working to ensure they don't get filled with rubble. We are considering allowing the hill to fall down around them in order to avoid this danger.

What would you have us do? Fill them, so they were lost to posterity!?
Tsk.

(PS - We told our plan to our invisible professor friend and he sent us a letter in invisible ink saying "Hooray!" )
