Yeah... but.....you have to admit that if one of the units covered by the Fantasy League was the Novgorod Department of Urban Archaeology (if such a unit exists) then the quality of the archaeology is going to be way above that of many other places you might end up working. Or if the unit were located on Santorini.....
Red Earth: Honestly 'quality of weather' (Bergen Norway has 270 days rain a year, Santorini has about 6, Orkney has gret archaeology, but is very windy), and 'Attractiveness of staff' (Iceland has some of the worlds most beautiful people, but crap weather, Santorini has great weather but loads of crap British tourist types) are factors I think are important
Surely it must be possible to devise a category that encapsulates the idea that working at a certain place could give you the 'tingliest' exerience you are ever likely to encounter in your working life.
'Tingle factor?' with the answer being expressed in terms of role models from Harrison Ford (1) through to Mortimer Wheeler (10+) ' or some similar non-sexist equivalant....
