GGG Ping.
Didn’t some American family, on vacation, knock these stones to the ground a few years back?
I never understood the fascination with stonehenge. It’s just what’s left over of a fort after the small stones were swiped to build hearths in peasant huts.

You can see here just how close the roads pass by Stonehenge, you have to wonder about who decided to build them there.
For a minute there, I thought they were putting a McDonalds in the middle of it.
The first time we visited Stonehenge it was just a box to check off on the living in England list. It was far more impressive than I expected. For a good perspective on this region I would suggest a book called “Sarum” by Rutherford. BTW I love Tesco too.
I’d pay to see Banksy to tag Stonehenge.
And the food concession at stonehenge is god awful, even by working class British cuisine standards. A nearby Tesco could only improve things.

I’d build a Wal-Mart around it....
Didn’t Clark Griswold back into it and knock it down in European Vacation?
On par with the pyramids? LOL!
