scotland calling


Apropos of nothing in particular, I was reading a news item in "Current Archaeology" magazine.  It was entitled, "Scotland calls for the return of the Lewis Chessmen".  Not my usual reading matter but one of my daughters is studying the subject at Southampton Uni and happens to be home for a few days.  She showed me this article as she knew I would be incensed.  Why should I give them back?  They seem quite happy here.

Anyway, Lewis only got them because Morse shuffled off this mortal coil.
