This story is bogus...no one would walk that far for English food. Mushy peas and blood pudding? Blech!
Does PETA know of this?
I don’t see the surprise here: Stone Age (well, early Iron Age actually) barbarians regularly make thousand mile treks to Mecca for THEIR religion, under 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th ... travel century conditions no better than what the early Brit’s had to contend crossing England.
And, in many ways, the tens of thousands of Muslims traveling across deserts to to get to Mecca had it harder than the colder, wetter, flatter and more populated/cultivated/farmed areas around Stonehenge.
I thought this was a lefty MSM piece on a McCain/Palin rally!
