Badgers make good

I know in this country (the UK), field-walkers seek out molehills on protected sites that can't be dug.

I was wondering where brock had run off too.  :)


I know in this country (the UK), field-walkers seek out molehills on protected sites that can't be dug.
Years ago I worked on an archeological dig in the UK. During the dinner break I went for a wander in the nearby Woods and found, in the Spill from a  rabbit hole,  a 14th century coin. Like any good Person I left it where it was and reported it to the dig leader. For the next week they took a Team who dug out a huge square of the woodland..and found bugger all.
I knew the truck didnīt want to hit me...it had dodge written on the front

What is next?

With HS2 a hell of a lot more by the Looks of things.
Thing is, it seems no-one gives a toss, from planting a bloody great equestrian Arena on another sensitive leading World Heritage site  which hides loads of  archeological stuff during the olympics to this one. If Money and ignorance are involved itīll Keep Happening.

I was absolutely seething when I read this story yesterday - my son was surfing and found the story in the Daily Mail online (of all sources!). What I find strange though is that the story was pulled from the site only a couple of hours later ???

What a paltry punishment for something irreplaceable - 6 months or a small fine. If that is all it takes to "make reparation" then I can see a lot more of our heritage going the same way as it is economically viable to just flatten it in the name of profit. That pyramid in South America (Peru?) getting flattened a few weeks back is a similar story about how little people care about their surroundings and heritage when money gets involved.  :-[ :(

:) As soon as News is News it isnīt News anymore, itīs old News, so the News that is News hasnīt happened yet which makes it no News until it becomes News which means itīs not News as soon as it becomes news.  o_o
