Not that I'm denying that the traffic was swerving, you understand Ishmael. I just think that your argument is extremely strong without that, and that even if traffic swerves every time someone climbs (a future and "made stable") Silbury then this is an argument for moving the road further away from the monument, not for stopping people from climbing. I admire the main thrust of your argument because it says "people should not climb now". I'm wary of this car thing because it says "people should never be allowed to climb".

Can I just ask one thing?

Why the fk should anyone want to climb the fkn thing anyway? Why not just admire it from below?

OK - 2 things.

On what grounds should one be allowed to climb the hill for so-called "religious" reasons? What religious practises have been proved to have been carried out there in the past? I always thought nobody knew for sure why the hill was built. Therefore, why should it be assumed it was built for religious purposes? Granted, it's very likely to be the case, but can we be sure? Did the Earth stop revolving every year before this Terry chap decided to lumber about on top of it?

That, as the pedants among you will surely notice, is far more than 1 or even 2 questions. Get over it.
