I'll take your silence as a 'no' then Julian. So sad...

I saw the horses:
Hugh in the dense grey - ten together -
Megalith-still.They breathed, making no move,
With draped manes and tilted hind-hooves,
Making no sound.
I passed: not one snorted or jerked its head.
Grey silent fragments
Of a grey silent world.

Ted Hughes (1930 - )

So sad... Not one snorted to save Silbury. 'Grey silent fragments of a grey silent world.'

Quoted by another Hughes, in the times when there was no quango set between the people and the care of their monument -

The owld White Horse wants zettin to rights
And the Squire hev promised good cheer,
Zo we'll gee un a scrape to kip un in zhape,
And a'll last for many a year.

Fraid it's been pretty well established in the past that Julian doesn't read the boards, littlestone. :^(
And several peeps that know Julian well say that he doesn't even look at the site. :^(

Worth a try tho.... :^)
