Nice to see the north-east of England leading the field when it comes to blowing-away the dusty archives and giving the public full access to this suberb resource.

Looks like shite to me...

I'm glad those two guys are so far up their arses as to not bother visiting the Rock Art sites in the Knaresdale parish and subsequently not listing them. I question Stan's interpretations and assumptions entirely.

I rang him up once and he told me to read all seven (then) of his books and then to get back to him. Perhaps I have this reaction from people but what if I'd been a shy farmer ?
