That's exactly what I was saying! Although I'm impressed that you can know I'm a f...wit. It usually takes people a whole ten minutes in my company to realise that.
And P Prentice - two weeks experience before allowing them to identify, excavate, record and interpret without worry? Either everyone you've met is above genius, where you operate the archaeology is clearer and more simple than the rest of us have seen, or you have very low standards! Two weeks... really... :face-crying:
I reserve the right to change my mind. It's called learning.
