The latest story in the local newspaper, with some local reactions and the outing of the farmer's name.

Anyone care to comment on the farmer's comments?
"The farmer on whose land the helmet said he would have liked it to stay in Cumbria, but Eric Robinson remained tight lipped over whether he will receive any of the money raised from Thursday’s auction. It’s quite amazing [that it was worth so much],” he said. “I would have liked it to be kept in Cumbria but I can’t do anything about it.”
But if it was found on his land, it's his property isn't it? Why does he not seem to be able to do anything about it?
I still find this whole episode very, very perplexing.
