This is an unexpected theory. That Stonehenge is second hand.
Stupid ancients and their recycling that messes around with historical sites.
Actually that's pretty cool.
Its quite a spooky place, too. I've been there a couple of times.
it's on my bucket list :)

Makes sense, I've heard ('cause I love the weird and off-beat) that there is another site directly under Stonehenge. So perhaps what we see is an upgrade.
Being old enough to actually remember Stonehenge being built, I can tell you it was sold to us by the Druids as a way to increase CO2 gases and prevent another Ice Age. It must've worked too because we never had another one. Probably all the huffing and puffing dragging all those damned heavy rocks. Along with the Pre-Historic Bison farts. Those things will light-up a room if there's a fire around. :P BOOM!

Is it still doing it's job keeping those pesky picts out? I have an irrational fear of rampaging pict hoards.

If you end up going just remember - "bangers and mash" is not someone trying to solicit sex. No matter what Star says.
Also you don't need to worry about STDs or penicillin if someone offers you some spotted dick.
Or hot buttered fadge
I don't know what fadge is and I'm too terrified to look it up.
What about a, "Sticky Wicket"? Can you catch anything from that? And "Blood Pudding". Does it really contain pudding? Or just bad blood?
All these things will be made clear to you when you're here :-)
Bawb, you sound seriously like the alien in the Twilight Zone, "To Serve Man."

You probably would have passed out longer if she'd asked you to share some bubble and squeak.
...or perhaps have a go at some toad in the hole.

Growing up we used to have Yorkshire Pudding whenever we had roast beef. Now I buy it frozen. But they recently changed the recipe so I'm probably going to start making it myself. Never had Toad-in-the-Hole though.
Not sure whether I should be getting hungry or horny here. ???
^Both :-)
