Thank you for all this Penny, it has all been thought prevoking, which is one of the reasons The Mudcat is so attractive to me. A very warm welcome to you.

I only live a few miles away from the giant and having seen it often am not convinced of it's antiquity. If you compare it to the Uffington cutting, which is a wonderful design, the giant just seems very crude and I don't mean just the phallus.
