Yes I agree totally with you there LS but I doubt they'd see it that way in todays 'flog it and flee' food outlets. It's become a way of life to see youngsters walking around holding a burger in one hand, mobile phone in the other and seeing the ground beneath their feet as lifes wastebin!

Well of course we don't actually know what it is going to look like or what food they will sell and how it will be purveyed. If it ends up with young people driving to Avebury for snack gatherings (or whatever they call it) it will be no less of a shame than any one piece of added litter blowing down the High Street. The point is the NT are in a position of responsibility and whilst one can understand they have to take all opportunities within reason to obtain the money needed to break even overall (across all properties) let them make money somewhere else and not in the centre of the largest stone circle in the world.
