Just think what they could have built if they had had the Transit and digger in the back ground !

Yeah, I was just thinking - how traditional was a JCB?

Only during the later Bronze age...

Love the last quote, "They're like London buses. You don't get one for 5,000 years and then all of a sudden two come at once."

Yes, if you've ever been to London you'll know that the buses travel in convoys. Whether it's a defensive measure or not no-one has ever discovered....

That's ace! Where do you sign up?! Also, what a good setting for an Ancients game...

[Ace of Spades]

Now this quote is quite remarkable too: 'We haven't built a long barrow for 5,000 years'  First of all they must be the longest ever exisitng contracting firm and second; how much profit have they made on the last one that they apparently managed to keep in bussiness for 5000 years after their last contract?!?

Cheers!

The economies picking up, we've had 5000 year slump but we're back on track. Two barrows in a year!

[howayman]

One thing. Where do you put the wheels?

Perhaps they took the Magrathean approach and slept throught the slump
