In addition, I suggest EH should buy them all a lollypop by way of apology. At their age that would have more than satisfied me.
Chuckle... we could ask em :-) Now children, which would you like? A silly old time capsule or a lollypop? Can hear the squeals for lollypops from here.

As for the blokes being overworked, I know that's true and sympathise. What I don't sympathise with is that the burden of answering questions should have been stuck on them and why they should be answering ANY policy questions when there are others better placed to do so. I have heard nowt back from the project team. Is it not reasonable to assume that after 7 years of planning adequate provision for informing the public was in place?
Aye... you've a way with words laddie - there's nothing to add to that.

Well indeed. In fact a further exploration into the workings of the average junior mind might throw the "disappointment" defence into even sharper relief.....
Exactly how old does a child have to be before it starts to think there's the slightest difference between "we're sending your painting to the future by putting it in a hill" and "we're sending your painting to the future by putting it in the ground" ?

Older than me and thee, evidently, so is the claim just a tad lacking in sincerity?
