Chuckle... if we keep this up we'll find ourselves on the English Heritage board of directors before long (advance policy planners of the psychic kind :-)

Let's see how long they're down due to 'technical difficulties'. Let's see if they ever start their Ask the Experts thingy and, most interestingly, let's see how they're going to reverse their way out of their time capsule blunder.

We know you're watching us English Heritage, but there's far more of us watching you ;-)

Simple. "We Fucked Up, sorry."

Now of course, no politician, government employee with healthy pension or anyone else in authority will do that, but I would rather read:

"After consultation between various interested parties, it has been decided that the time capsule project was ill thought out and potentially harmful, and the decision has been taken to offer the schoolchildren a time capsule on the site of the school itself, which is much more appropriate as they are the last pupils to go to that school, which closes in a few weeks"

than

"We've made the decision, and no matter how ridiculous it seems, no matter how much people object, no matter of the future consequences, we are sticking with it".

Perhaps more pertinently it could be renamed Where is Your Expert? ay EH?
