Wonder what this will throw up? Done well to keep it secret that long.

Not all that secret...

But yes, some interesting reading here, too, with a video.

Well I hadn't heard anything and neither had the BBC. (Smilie, where are they?)

Try and get along this week. Just round the corner from me.

The smilies are at the top of the 'Reply to this topic box', between the gold 'A' and 'My Media'.

But I just use the combinations of brackets and colon/semicolon.

Yes, I will try and get along to the site for a visit soon, too, whilst I'm in Cambridgeshire.

Which means you should never use a list that runs along the lines of x) y) z) - you will end up with a) c) !

Having just returned from a seminar given by Chris Scull I'd highly recommend visiting the Sutton Hoo site to see the Rendlesham treasures that go on display this Saturday. Since 2008 they've metal detected & surveyed 150 hectares of land systematically resulting in thousands of finds. It's so good to finally see this being published!
