Cough...

“I take issue with calling Silbury a mound. It’s a structure goddamit – not a ‘mound’ or a ‘hill’ but a structure, the biggest in Europe until modern times, right here in our heartland, unique and worthy of our absolute respect.”

No-one frigging reads anything properly anymore – that’s why I despair sometimes. The ‘don’t climb’ message goes out over and over again but nothing ever gets done... jeeze...


You'll be changing your name to BigHardStone soon then?
