Less unhappy Gumbo? Has the price of beer gone down?
I wonder if the problem is that UK archaeology has become 'McDonaldised' and the easy targets of the past have adopted a 'one size fits all' blandness that pervades the whole industry.
Of course what the Digger needs is a 'scoop' so scurrilous that all the rules of politeness go out of the window. And maybe to that end the Digger needs to be revived as an occassional 'blog flash' web-site that dishes the dirt briefly, before disappearing into anonymity (before the lawyers and other apologists catch up with it). And I guess if that happens it will happen.
The Digger is dead, long live the Digger!
