Got to agree with the 'Its work' lobby.

Ken,

Out of interest, did you pay tax on your pitches?

I think this ad is a good indication of how bad things currently are in Archaeology. Even a year ago you wouldn't have seen a weeks work advertised, there wouldn't be any takers for it, but now apparently there are.

This and previous ad for work with no accommodation do seem to set a worrying precedent of 'take what you're given'...

Well, the headline ad says West Cornwall, the detailed ad says West Devon. Woe betide you if you mix those up while you're down there.

Indeed. My locally bred fiancee holds a strong allegiance to the Tamar Valley and swears its neither part of Cornwall or Devon!! Beware - here be piskies... and thats the last you'll see of you tent pegs.

In light of my original post, I'd like to pay credit to West Cornwall for advertising the post. Its no discredit to them and just a sad indictment of archaeology and the fate of archaeologists at the moment.

I quite like the experience of having to empty a plastic bin and fill it full of hot water from the compound hut for my weekly bath, sorry folks but there's no photo's.

Oh, and Sparky, could you please keep it quiet about my accomodation expenses as H.M.G., who are obviously spotless in relation to this subject may take an unhealthy interest in my affairs.

You are having an Affair!! well thats it.... we are over!

Sorry, I'm not the type, happily married etc, but boy, the tales I could tell you, not that I'm a gossip of course.
