Crouched burial on the beach, a year ago today but still waiting for dates and other lab work. 1st millennium AD hot favourite with the experts though I'm rooting for the Bronze Age outsider.

The Trade Unions In Communities group have been collecting signatures for their re-instate Winter Fuel Payments Petition. Today they presented it to the new local Labour MP Chris Murray, in a rally supported by members of the RMT, UNISON and Unite, demanding an immediate reinstatement.

I've read quite a bit of Le Carré but this is a novel piece of spycraft to me. Definitely going to prod the next poo bag I see hanging from a tree.
