The BBC has a "story"about an archeological excavation in Essex hailed as beings being the UK's answer to Tutankhamen.
Let's see, shall we?
Contains a body? No, just a bit of tooth enamel
Contains a sarcophagus? No
Contains perfectly preserved painted and gilded artefacts?: No, bits of a wooden box
Contains countless numbers of priceless items? No, this is in Southend.
Archaeologists working in the searing heat? Yes (it was a Tuesday IIRC).
Archaeologists working with bewildered locals? Yes, this is Southend
Archaeologists hit by hideous curse? They've already been in Southend for two years.
(No offence to Southend - I've had a beer or two there )

Oi!
The council wanted to run a dual carriageway over that site. The eco warriors etc duly camped on the site for a year until they eventually backed down.
Personally, from someone who mostly uses that road to go anywhere out of Southend, I was gutted, it can be a right ball ache.MY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff
