Greetings to all.I visited a second world war pow camp (Eden Camp Yorks) recently and spent hours there-brilliant.I don`t think it really matters what period we are looking at or indeed, standing on.For me, every bit of diggin I do is an old theatre stage where peoples lives were played out.Tiz the woooooo feeling.The priory I was diggin turned out to be where the wife of Longshanks was embalmed prior to burial in Westminster Abbey. Ironically, one of our lady diggers recovered a longshanks coin and promptly spat. Shes a Scot and were`nt best pleased! Quite right too, a man who needed a slap indeed. Turns out that Longshanks borrowed dosh from Genovese and other Italian moneylenders to fund his hammering of the Scots.He then forced the prior to repay the debt on his behalf.So, lets get this right.... the church is forced to pay for a monarch to inflict carnage upon people from another country. Rings a bell in a number of ways. Apparently, around £8 of our weekly tax goes directly to the defence types.Essentially, making all of us share in the guilt whether we agree or not with the actions our figureheads take. Nothing really changes I suppose. Twaz a great site, unfortunately it`s still a nightmare working out a securely phased ground plan but hey...bit longer.
