Perhaps there should be a 'curse' on all monuments to keep the vandals at bay! moss Posted by moss

OH MY GOD, not "COACH LOADS" of TOURISTS???!! Whatever shall we do???

It's not about an increase in visitor numbers, it's about respectful people vs. non-respectful dickheads. Thats the difference. And the non-respectful dickheads are everywhere, even among people who profess to love the sites, even among the membership of TMA ;)

"Coach-Loads of visitors have been swarming to the burial site"

"Swarming", lol, classic Sun word.

"Flocking" in their "droves", superb.

Also, whenever they report somebody helping the police with their enquires, the individual is not being "questioned" they are always "quizzed".

Luckily I don't write the news. you could almost do a university degree on 'language to grab the public's attention'! though if it is the Sun, you don't need a large dictionary anyway... moss Posted by moss
