Sky I was simply raising a point following on from your post - I wasn't attacking your POV.

I love my country and the UK and the British Isles. I love the fact you can barely spit without hitting a piece of history. I am very much for preserving things for the country/ continent/ world. Especially as we can afford to.

I honestly meant that as an aside, it raised a genuine interest of mine. Where do we draw the line between looking after people and looking after buildings? I'm not suggesting for a second this is the case in the UK. But there are almost definitely parts of the world where money goes to maintaining monuments while healthcare and education are neglected.
