There is a possibility that the Elgin Marbles will be sent back to Greece, according to the director of the British Museum.And they'll give them right back the moment the BM asks without the tiniest thought of a double cross entering their minds. Really they will. Honest. No kidding.
Neil MacGregor said the Marbles could be taken back to Athens on a temporary basis provided the Greeks acknowledge British ownership of the ancient sculptures.
Somehow I'm put in mind of Arthur Dent, his home and a bulldozer.

Put it this way; if they don't give them back, we'll ask Bernard Matthews to extend his range of poultry products to Greece. Then export some sniffly hungarian pigeons as well.
