Ah those nine million things, is it a little bit like finding a tenner down the back of the sofa, you didn't even know you'd lost it, hurrah and let us congratulate these "heritage heroes".

But no, wait - actually it's more like me finding someone else's tenner down the back of the sofa, not telling them, and then running quickly off down the pub to spend it.

And whoever dug up the henge, they made the mistake of picking something that people knew was definitely there in the first place. Presumably Bad Detectorists use the justification that no-one ever knew their find existed to clear their conscience when they cling onto it (it's just in my pocket not in the ground).

I was sorry to have missed you the other week btw.

Nice. I’m partial to a bit of bitter irony, me. I’d only make one tweak – it’s not someone else’s nine million tenners, it’s mine and yours and everyone’s and all future generations’.

Tenner was a well chosen term though, they’re each worth an average of a tenner, for sure, probably more. Ninety million quid’s worth of booty, legally looted. Makes Priddy’s look like peanuts M8. More comparable to Tottenham mebbe.

Sorry to have missed you too. We could have shouted together.
