Did the early Anglo Saxons wash up?
I don't think they did. Indeed, I can't see how they could have done: all they would have ended up with would have been a tub of muddy water. It nearly happened to me once when was processing finds, but just in time i spotted what was happening and stopped what I was doing.

It could have been so much worse
Yesterday was swimming day - AquaFit, which is excellent (since I started in September I have lost half an inch off my hips and an inch off my waist). Afterwards, I had a look round the market in Ashton under Lyne and was heading towards the market hall. I noticed that the local regiment was doing some sort of PR/recruitment thing. Which, as it ( Read more... ) -
