Your mate polishes his axes whilst standing up? That clearly settles it then, that must be what they did in the neolithic if your mate does it.
No one said stood up, it sounds like you're taking the mickey, how did you know my friend was just like a neolithic person!!!! No sat down next to the stone leaning against it, rubbing against it is easier than rubbing down, rubbing down you get more pressure but it wears you out quickly, against is less pressure but you can do it all day without the pains you get leaning over something and rubbing, oh er!!

On Worcester Cathedral and on nearby St Johns there are marks made by Cromwell's soldiers sharpening their pikes. Who is to say whatever was being polished in prehistory wasnt attached to a staff - which would mean rubbing upwards high or downwards low would both be convenient.
