Oh for God's sake! If I'm going to be pulled up for pretentiousness, I'd like to make a plea for a reduction in pedantry. I'm well aware of the destinction between the HER (the record of the various sites, monuments, buildings, landscapes etc that make up the historic environment, as held in a database or similar) and the historic environment advisory service (which maintains this record, and uses it to provide advice to the planning department on the impact of development proposals on the historic environment). In popular terminology, however, the two terms are used virtually interchangably. Honestly, you must be one of those people who insist on calling a hoover a vacuum cleaner unless it's made by the Hoover Corporation, or always refers to a ballpoint pen unless it was manufactured by the Biro Company!
And P Prentice, some of my posts have been way more pretentious than the last-but-one!

You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum
