Well I hope we don't hear something like.... well there are two schools of thought and on balance, since the children have worked so hard on their contributions and would be disappointed if we cancelled it, we're going ahead.

There aren't two valid schools of thought, just one. And if any of those youngsters grow up with just an average sense of propriety they may be hopping mad to think what they were made party to before they were able to apply mature judgement.

To which the children might reply to English Heritage -

"As with wildlife and the environment, we do not want to interfere any more than necessary by placing modern objects in this ancient monument. Please, therefore, place our time capsule in the Silbury carpark where both the present and the future can see that we acted responsibly and with respect for our ancestors and their achievements."
