Gorging ping.
Cheddar Gorge, one of the best games on “I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue.”
I miss Humph.
Cheddar Gorge, huh?
Dangerously cheesy!
Can’t be true. Earth is only 6,000 years old, or didn’t you get the memo? /s

More cave art discovered at Creswell Crags
17 July 2004
http://www.stonepages.com/news/archives/000811.html
A team of researchers led by the University of Sheffield and supported by English Heritage have found eighty 13,000-year-old carvings in limestone rock of Church Hole Cave, at Creswell Crags in Nottinghamshire (England). The discovery comes a year after the initial discovery of 12 engraved figures, which were trumpeted as the earliest examples of prehistoric cave art in Britain.
I like that closing sentence -- "future decision-making could be made based on scientific data and not on political expediency". I wouldn't count on it, but that would be great.Caves reveal clues to UK weatherAt Pooles Cavern in Derbyshire, it was discovered that the stalagmites grow faster in the winter months when it rains more. Alan Walker, who guides visitors through the caves, says the changes in rainfall are recorded in the stalactites and stalagmites like the growth rings in trees. Stalagmites from a number of caves have now been analysed by Dr Andy Baker at Newcastle University. After splitting and polishing the rock, he can measure its growth precisely and has built up a precipitation history going back thousands of years. His study suggests this autumn's rainfall is not at all unusual when looked at over such a timescale but is well within historic variations. He believes politicians find it expedient to blame a man-made change in our weather rather than addressing the complex scientific picture.

When Did Humans Return After Last Ice Age? (UK)
It varied.
It was all dependent on when they could get the Lucas Wiring problems in their Jaguars fixed.
'The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."'Some Humans still haven't returned -- their cars are still in the shop.
'Lucas--inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.'
'The three-position Lucas switch--DIM, FLICKER and OFF.'
'The other three switch settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.'
'The original anti-theft devices--Lucas Electric products.'
'If Lucas made guns, wars would not start either.'
