by local
press and celebrities and involving
petitions and demonstrations has saved the Gloucester unit from

As it is Christmas I felt you all needed
a game to play late into the afternoon as you digest your hearty
Dinner! So to make sure you split your sides laughing (As long
as you find programmes like 'Chewin' the Fat' funny) follow the
link below - which will take you to a quiet street in Glasgow..
just use your mouse to pull back the hand and throw smowballs
at the 'windaes' .. The results are not going to be what you
expect .. who said the Scots were uncultured!! http://www.chunkideas.com/snowball/
Happy Festive Seasons to you all! |

'An inquiry is needed'
In the last
edition of The Digger we ran an article about Carlisle Archaeology

work
sunk the unit.
