Sorry kev I haven?t a drop of simperphy for eh. I put eh somewhere below time team.
Are there any initiatives out there right now that hold out a glimmer of hope?
Unfortunately eh have not been abolished although my commiseration to anybody finding themselves Self un-Employed.
Note the juxtaposition of ?national interest? relying on ?local cuts?. Isn?t the eh ?planning advice services? just some dodgy London boroughs and aren?t those positions funded from the local level and if not why not. Does anyone know of any other examples? Are eh saying that they are going to take over local authority planning services?
why cant they go into detail, why they so special. What other bloody organisations? I think that they will find that reducing grants by around one third the impact will be about a...wait for it ..aaa around about a third (its a maths thing). I don?t understand whats so important about their rights over grant giving. The national lottery were overnight experts at it and nobody blinked an eye, then there is the Aggregates levi mob, all joke outfits but you don?t have to be a statutory advisor to the government to give out grants, you just have to have a fund. I could do it, put it up for tender-what they scared of-my lack of ifa membership...what eh rely on being a RO?
Sorry if I am showing my ignorance but I think eh could take a 80% cut and we would not notice any difference in the wonderful world of archaeology. In fact I cant think what the level would be before we would notice a difference. It could give all its properties to the national trust, let the lottery carry on with its mickey mouse grants and as for eh?s so called specialists kept around just in case Silbury hill develops a hole in it, point out that the bbc quite happily excavated Silbury Hill without any statutory advisor to the puppyment. The national trust could put that work out to tender-repeats what you scared of-my lack of...
