Britain really is going to the dogs, it seems as thefts of historic stone and metal across England are increasing:
Thefts of historic stone and metal are on the rise, according to a new report by Historic England and the National Police Chiefs' Council. It sets out how walls and paving slabs were stolen in Yorkshire and Cheshire, while granite troughs and fountains were taken in Kent and London. Meanwhile, metal thefts from church roofs were particularly common during the Covid lockdowns, the report added.

Well, I stick my Oxford Blue oar in any place deemed suitable, and, as usual, all sites available in this river of devious undercurrents are fair game. So, I watched, recently, with great interest, the unearthing of a magnificent Roman Mosaic, in they came, the caring, non-strata destroying Arkies followed by their non-arkie farmer, driving a digger and digging up a large proportion of his field!!! Very professional, I am sure that is why you failed your exams, Paul, you are, unfortunately, something which if you ever did discover it, would perfectly fit in with your mindset, mindset, a dinosaur.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you on about man? Which "exams" aree you alleging I failed, in which country? What on EARTH has some mosaic in a field got to do with the subject of this post? The litter strewn road of the vignette is a perfect analogy to the sort of litter-strewn mind your comments seem to reflect.
