Not shouting at all fitz, trying to keep the discussion centred on what's important down this neck of the woods. If Mr Carr wants to talk about his experiences with English Heritage up north he's perfectly entitled to do so - elsewhere, not here where we're talking about Silbury updates and English Heritage's failure to provide us with detailed information on their work at Silbury (or to answer our questions on their Ask the Experts page).

Best wishes to you too matey, when we gonna see ya down here? Can feel the Red Lion beckoning for a chinwag and a couple of jars :-)

Cheers and whoops,
I suspect that by sharing his positive experience of EH's work, Robert was trying to establish a balance. I would imagine many newcomers to this forum could be quite taken aback, and possibly put off, by the frequent, and occasionaly vitriollic, anti-EH sentiments expressed by a number of regular contributors.

As for the red lion, thanks for the offer but I have no plans to head south any time soon ...... if you ever find yourself in the dark, true and tender north give me shout.
cheers

Core blimey fitz, glad you cleared that one up (thought you were getting into some kind of Zen thingy there :-)

Yeah, your right when you say you, "...would imagine many newcomers to this forum could be quite taken aback, and possibly put off, by the frequent, and occasionally vitriolic, anti-EH sentiments expressed by a number of regular contributors." Thing is, many of those regular contributors have been banging their heads against a wall of official EH silence for years and are understandably frustrated to the point of despair. I know it's difficult (because there is so much info on TMA) but newcomers do have a bit of a responsibility to scroll back and see if various topics have been discussed before, and how the Forum in general has responded to them.

Thanks for the offer to meet up in the 'true and tender north' - will take you up on that sometime. One thing's for sure, when you actually do meet up with folks you realize just how nice they are and how much we all have in common.
