It's a great shame, that probably in my lifetime, the spread of global capitalism, has largely wiped out any cultures that indulged in cannibalism etc.

A really ace place is the Pitt Rivers Museum in Scumsville, which has a fantastic collection of things like shrunken heads.

I notice though it has been shut for a while, for refurbishment, due to re-open in May. Hopefully it will have been done tastefully as the PR had an atmosphere of the Victorian original.

Interesting fact about Oxford is that there is a repository under the streets of central Oxford, known as 'the vaults', that holds every book ever published.

In fact every publishing deal includes a clause that one copy has to go to this storage facility.

  Sure i read somewhere a week or two ago, that 6 million stored books from the bodelian are to be moved to a new storage facility in Swindon.

Not really...O*ford has been a repository of learning for the moneyed classes of Britain and its Empire for centuries. Consequently it is unsurprisingly well stocked by bequeathments and benefactions from wealthy patrons.

On the contrary Swindon is a remorselessly working class town, where such things as museums have to be on a much smaller scale due to finances.  Nevertheless there are things of interest, Bath Road museum and Art Gallery, Steam, Richard Jefferies Museum, The Science Museum and the public viewing room at English Heritage.

I believe the Bodleian is going to store some stuff at Wroughton...similarly Imperial College does something similar....not sure about public access.

I was looking in the paper at work earlier and realised that I went to school with one of them!! I am just going to watch this now to see how he copes!!!He always seemed a tad lazy at school but was a nice enough guy.
