I’m sure they would have absolutely NO problem whatsoever. Ya think? Well, humans have pretty much always been a destructive lot…

I almost had exactly the same issue arise while visiting the graves of Newton and Darwin at Westminster Abbey that very same day, but the priests there were much more proactive and efficient at preempting such accidents. They were very helpful that way. P.S.

They won't even let you take pictures of their walls (inside)! Jerks. I had a video camera malfunction inside once, and accidentally shot a few seconds of the ceiling from the balcony though. Fortunately, one of the priests on duty noticed the problem before the camera filmed more than a few seconds and he was on his way over to point out the issue when I also realized it and turned off the camera and left in the coincidentally opposite direction. Horrible accident, the results of which can be found on my YouTube channel strictly as a reminder to others to be careful with video cameras that are all too easy to accidentally turn on when the top of the camera bag is accidentally left open while in places where photography is not allowed. The more you know... /public service announcement madge,

I didn't know about the last one before hand and today is my mother's birthday so I couldn't sit at the computer at that time but it sounds like it would be fun.
