This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I’m repeating from last time this was posted, but Time Team is massively underrated. All their new episodes are posted free on Youtube, as well as the vast majority of their back catalog of 20 seasons:

Check it out & support the cause if you’re able!

Fun fact: every time they had any human remains (or the expert thought it highly likely to be human remains), Time Team had to stop digging it out and call the local coppers. They would come out, make a report and have the experts state it wasn't anything recent (like in the past 50 years or so). Only after they'd done that they could resume digging. When they were digging a cemetery or something like that, they'd usually have a team from the local authorities on site.

They often mentioned this, but I think there was also a special where they went into it a bit more. They had interviews with I think a chief of police or something to go into the why and how. I also think a producer once mentioned they got in trouble when they were in France or Spain and didn't follow the procedure to the letter. This led to them opting out of foreign digs for a while (among other reasons).
