"I'm sure lots of other people are still disgruntled"

Aye, that'll be me for one.
We were told the primary mission was repair not research (though some of us had and have huge doubts about that) yet here we are more than five weeks into the project and how much have any of us been told about the state of the hill, the number of collapses, the cubic metres of material involved etc etc etc etc etc.

Stability and collateral damage was THE central issue in planning this project and indeed, its the central issue for all of us, full stop. T'would be nice to hear about it. Tobacco tins and flints can wait.

sorry, I know you're right, Nigel I was just in a good mood so casually fired off my message. I do like to see a few artefacts rather than solely hear the Facts. But the facts would be nice. As well. Otherwise it's just eyewash isn't it.

Perhaps you should be bugging Skanska for updates then? The updates you are getting are from the archaeologists, not the engineers.
