There seems to be some crocodile tears being shed'''' the Trust "regrets" having to do this, and yet... "In the long term, and by this we mean 50 years hence, the National Trust remains committed to removing vehicles from within the World Heritage Site.”

Eh? How will that work then? And why? And by what right? And under what power? And just how many millions of pounds of compensation will it involve?

Don't worry about it. In 50 years time we'll all be flying around in private jet-packs ... oh, sorry, that was what Raymond Baxter told me about the year 2000.

So ...

Don't worry about it. None of us will be able to afford to run a car in 50 years time anyway. We'll* have much bigger problems to worry about than driving through Avebury.

*well, many of us will :-)
