hm, interesting idea Jane. trouble is, was this not also the genus responsible for the banal filling of Silbury with mcdonalds polystyrene burger box-type plastic?

o well, nothing's perfect i suppose - let's replace the sheep with EH bods in SSSI sensitive boots [lol] and bright yellow hard hats and place the sheep behind desks and pc's at English Heritage. that way the public might actually get some sense out of EH (relative to the current situation) whilst at the same time marvelling at the jobsworth bureaucrats wandering aimlesslessly around the unique neolithic monument they have spent a fortune of our money not restoring?

just a thought.

the grass? ah, no probs - ovine EH will smother it in red tape, now that's something they really do have a talent for!
