'Travellers' flatten 50 yards of Offa's Dyke with a bulldozer:

The man, who gave his name only as ‘Danny’, claimed: ‘I’ve lived here all my life and I’ve never heard of Offa’s Dyke.'

She always seemed pretty straight to me. Did occasionally wear birkenstocks, and coached women's softball, so I guess the signs were there and I just missed them.

So, are you implying the British have no private property rights?

Please read my entire post, including the caveat (that’s the part with the word IF in it), and they GFY...

...and have a nice day.

PS - Please feel free to trust UNESCO all the way to a one-world government.

Who is Offa?...You know. The Black broad who wasn’t allowed to buy a crocodile bag in Sweden.

[IronJack]

Yep. And look what he did to Gorgeous George. And Bricktop for that matter ...

Does Oprah know? If she hears about this she will figure out how to make it into a racist attack against herself.

OK, how hard would it be to re-construct that section of this historic earthwork? Another day or so with modern tools? Maybe this is a good thing so at least people now know about the silly dike and its history. Maybe make it a true historic site and put up a museum to honor Good King Offa (one of the better Saxon Kings by the way).

The UNESCO designation is irrelevant. This was a Scheduled Ancient Monument, heavily protected under British law, since 1882, long before UNESCO saw fit to recognise it or even existed.

[Dudoight]

OK. Yes...I know about Offa! Silly...not in those days.
