Exactly. It's a sacred thing.

Om Shanti

With the possible exception of extreme weather conditions and one one hill top ,the Inn Pinn , can we really have any confidence in the belief that prehistoric peoples in Britain would have been terrified of , or on hill tops ,groves and sources of water ? I hae my doots .

Yes, I agree it was a curious turn of phrase - have just answered your previous post, I think we 'crossed'. I do take a lot with a pinch of salt you know - especially when someone has a book to sell (this one was published in 2005). I will read the book though, as I've parted with my dosh but will keep an open mind and it may not get read from cover to cover.

I am of the same Inn Pinn-nion. Oor four faithers wur a fearless bunch. Feart o' nuthin'!

Ma brither did the Inn Pinn. I cannae even look at the phoaties!

Our auld brithren paddled ower unkent seas and did it wae a haunfue o' flint tae see them through.

Feart o' nought! Masters of the lot!
