Caveman


Why were Cavemen called Cavemen, when there aren't that many caves around? It must have been more to do with any available caves being repositories for artefacts and caves being somewhat immune from the effects of weathering, thereby preserving such artefacts.


That said, during our holiday in the Peaks last week we spotted what looked like a Caveman housing estate - an escarpment filled with at least half a dozen caves.

If a Caveman Ugg wanted to move cave to a nicer area, possibly to be within the catchment area of a good school, finding a new cave must have been a nightmare. Using the services of a Cave Agent must surely have been the only option available to him - someone with a deep knowledge of the local geography and the location of the best caves on the market.

That then raises the question of whether Ugg could get a mortgage on a new cave...

Saw this yesterday - brought a smile to my face...
