Allow us oldies some indulgence Dino...you know full well that in the good old days most of us could shift a fair sized site, dig several burials, draw the site plan with a nail dipped in blood and catalogue all of the finds and do it all before a hearty breakfast of lard pie and strong ale...you youngsters just don't know how lucky you are!!
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
