"oh yeah - the EH minutes show (whatever choice is decided) there is no hurry, Silbury as far as anyone (that is Nigel, archaeologists, EH, Uncle Tom Cobbly and all) can tell is stable - so lets rush in and make the wrong choice ay???"

Silbury stable?

Holy cow, for someone who has such good connections you really know absolutely nothing do you?

You're quoting the first 4.5 years of PR that we complained so bitterly about (and even EH used tricky words to say it was "mainly" stable!)

You're the first person ANYWHERE in five years to say it's stable!

Since then, EH have confessed. The wording now is that collapses "WILL" continue. No ifs. No buts. NOT STABLE.

This doorman, your informant. Tell him to get up to date.
