I don't think you need to go as far as threatening to resign. I'm sure we could find another venue if the museum says "no". I know a stone aggregate merchant who might be some use in sourcing a 10 ton stone (I lent him an adze last year to dress up an oak beam for his house so he owes me). He knows all the farmers in this part of North Yorkshire and would probably know if any would be "game" for the project.

I only said "threaten" anyway one of the reasons I'm still at the museum is the thought that the site might be useful to my project. I sold up my little business a couple of years ago mainly so I could be free to think about this project, so I now have a proper job for the first time since 1969. Regarding this charity lark, my main worry is that the whole project might not be taken seriously, that it might actually be compared to a charity leg waxing. Believe me, to me this is deadly serious. However I'm still waiting to hear what the others have to say.

I think a few of us are now beginning to think that after a bit of practise with the 10 tonner, we might actually succeed with the big one. So I'll let you know what I am now thinking, I now want us to think about erecting the whole Trilithon in a single day!!! That would hit the front pages world wide. No Nigel I'm not drunk
