http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-40547691 So some bright spark has decided that our beloved Lake District should be given UNESCO status. Now I am all for conservation but history shows us that when we place these things in the hands of people who live miles away then it is a recipe for disaster, ( a bit like the pricks in Westminster ). Most people only visit the lakes in summer but it is a landscape forged by millenniums of weather, ( usually VERY wet ), hill farming and a singular lack of human intervention. I do like the passing reference to Stonehenge and, as anyone who has had the misfortune to drive down that way of late will testify, what a pig's ear they have achieved with that. -------------------- Si non prius succederent.......... relinquere
