I haven't been to see it yet, but I'm going to Stonehenge on either the 27th or 28th (@8pm) of this month to watch the Zulus dance (as part of Salisbury Art Festival)

Hmmm.... not good :(

There sure are some nutters out there (including the guy who posted a comment on the Salisbury Journal - for a giggle follow the link to his photo page).

Hey ho... the stones don't work cause the vandals stole the handle!

I notice he signs himself G-D

Divine inspiration comes in all forms :-)

First the mirrors, then the handle - bloody vandals!

How many errors can you spot in the Guardian's report on this:

... but they've corrected them now.

1) Stonehenge isn't on Pilton Down (picture caption)

2) The Heel stone is not the central megalith

3) The excavation finished a month ago

Pictures of the two cretins who vandalised the Heel Stone have been released.
