Bodger I am sure that the trustees of gwent imagine that logistical capacitance and its supportive scales as well as organisational budgetary allotments were their ideas and were presumably developed between the years 1985 to 2009. I imagine that right now they have their voiluteers working on more ingenius methods to find ways to pay tax on things that you did not know you had lost or indeed once you had found it were not sure what it was. Take a neolithic blade for instance: input vat unknown, age mostly based on rubbing it with thumb and finger and yet we call it neo but then say that it is really old. I have to say though that I do like the idea that you take the cost of the archaeology add all the taxes that you can find and then divide it by the number of things that you have found to get a value for accounting purpose for the objects. For me this is what organisation budgetary allotments is all about. I used it the other day when a little old lady asked what was the best thing that I had ever found which turned out to be coincidental for her because as it happened on that particular day the only thing that I could be bothered to pick up was something that I decided was a microlith. You can see where I am coming from. The only area in the account that I was a bit worried about was weather and if I should include in the full account the beacon butties and tea which the little old lady insisted that I take. When I told the little old lady what the microlith was worth and how long it had kept is value she did demand to know who owned the object which I thought I had told her in my chatup. When she realised that it belonged to her and was worth exactly what she had paid to for me to find it for her she demanded that I give it to her. Which I did but fell into the old culturally transformative problem of once the microlith was out of my hands it no longer was a micrlith but anything that she wanted it to be and I now had the mind boggoling budgetary alloting of dividing all fees and taxex by a big fat ZERO and having to go through all those arguments about whats behind the brickwall at the edge of the universe and does it matter if you can never leave the centre of it anyway. But these things keep you warm and also left me with the problem of if I did not find anything what was I charging the little old lady for. It appears that it is for standing with the not so odd bit of bending over which you do as it has more possibilities than standing up. Still dont know if I am missing out on some input VAT on that as well. and will never know because the grand old trustee who presumably told the trust to register for vat has put me on the invivble list because he only wants to talk about the volunteer sub-committee trustees and knows that if he met me in a field I would outstand him
