Damm, I was hoping that nobody would notice :;):

I'll have to blame that one on the gaffer. blog is done but just need sort a couple of extra photo's out for it

Let’s put this one down to a deliberate mistake by the gaffer, just to test that were all alert and paying attention in class! I’ve been working with the boss over last few weeks, and he’s got loads on, so a simple mistake can be excused this once!

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, as they used to make us say at school. I added the link but omitted to change the url.

Great read once again, and it's important to remember why I publish these blogs or travel diaries: for too many years we've had certain parties in and around the stone trade declaiming the alleged atrocities of women and children and prisoners and cripples and whathaveyou being forced to work as slaves in the Indian stone industry. While no-one is claiming this doesn't ever happen, a more accurate picture is that it is the exception, and that the vast majority of reputable suppliers in Britain and Ireland only source stone from 'ethical' quarries and processing factories.

As end users of the stone, we have a responsibility to know what is being done 'in our name', and besides, I think it's fascinating to see where the stone comes from and how it is processed.

Thanks to Steven @ London Stone for affording us this insight.
