Unfortunately, the screw-up was not noticed until the majority of building work had been completed, and rather than stop it, apportion blame, and get it changed, it was a case of "Oh well, it's a bit late to mess about with it now" and the project continued.


Aye, slumpy, usual (and oh too familiar) stuff. Remember the cash for peerages fiasco just a few weeks ago? Gone very quiet hasn't it? Usual cover up crap. Meanwhile we get (at last) the first film clip* (with a friendly Julian Richards voice over) from English Heritage after... what is it, six weeks on site? First quarter of the clip is taken up with exciting shots of porta cabins being hauled into place and helicopters zooming over like a safari documentary zooming over a heard of elephants! Come off it English Heritage, stop patronising the public with this sort of crap and give us an accurate video report of your activities inside Silbury and answers to the very real concerns expressed here and elsewhere.
