Dear Smallblueplanet,
Yes, it may well be a pile of mud (and chalk), but if we can't do something about it - and about the supposed learned assemblage who promote themselves as the caretakers of our heritage - then we (the Great British Public) may as well lie down; and I for one refuse to do so.

Oh, and it's totally off-topic, but:

UK'S TOP 10 POP RICH LIST - 2003
1. Sir Paul McCartney - £760m
2. Lord Lloyd-Webber - £400m
3. Sir Cameron Mackintosh - £335m
4. Madonna £227m
5. Robert Stigwood - £199m
6. Sir Mick Jagger - £175m
7. Sir Elton John - £170m

3 of the so-called "stars" attending this apparent outpouring of global angst - in order to highlight world poverty - are worth (at 2003 prices) a combined total in excess of £1000m - and the good ol' General Public are going to have to put there hands in their pockets for a text lottery at £1.50 a pop plus network charges: give me a break!

Peace

Pilgrim

ahhh....you're one one of those who can't chew gum and walk at the same time.

Some of us ..... and I know that this will come as a shock to you .... what, with your ology and all that.....but some of us can CARE ABOUT DIFFERING THINGS AT THE SAME TIME. Honest, we can!

Spit that gum out before you trip!!! ;-)

This is a complex society, we have room for multiple priorities.
