The trouble is, that a lot of these comments from the public maybe do reflect the fact that we are still not very good at getting over exactly what it is we are doing and why we're doing it.
Although, there are time's when I think that the average level of common sense amongst the average member of the great British public seems to have dipped alarmingly over the years, but may I'm just getting old
Occasionally, you can have a bit of fun with a fulminating, Basil Fawlty type who will splutter on about it all being a waste of his/her taxpayers money. The first occasion it happened, I was happy to point out that the entire team were volunteers and the project was unlikely to cost them anything, the second was actually Heritage Lottery funded(not compulsory to buy a ticket y'know) and the third not really an issue unless they were going to buy one of the overpriced domiciles that our clients were going to be building on the site.[:p]
