Are you suggesting saying to EH if you work a miracle for a Victorian pier, then you can fix Silbury ?

Coz if you want to think about hierarchy of heritage I have a chain of events you might think about:

18th century Duke of Northumberland digs shaft down the middle of Silbury.

20th century BBC dig tunnel into Silbury

2000 Silbury suffers collapse.

21st century Duke of Northumberland wants to sell a painting.

21st century arguments rage that HLF should match money offered abroad to buy said painting

What are your sentients I mean sentiments exactly Nigel ?

Sorry, got me slef all befuudled...

What I was trying to say was that we the punters can't pick and choose who can recieve what bits of what cake or that they shouldn't have that money causee this happenned or even say that if you can spend that cash on that project this is more important. All these things are inmportant and add to our expanding historical culture

I know you weren't saying that Nigel but I do think we can use such examples to encourage ...

I've lost it entirely now...

Doh....forget I said anything, I take it all back whatever it was...
