"And -- oh! -- how they danced!
The little children of Stonehenge..."

But their decision to approve the plan has angered conservationists, who say greenfield sites should not be built on.

The conservationistas must really be outraged then, at the builders of Stonehenge.

The British don't really know what to do with Stonehenge. It's a very small and vulnerable site for a place of such great importance. Fifty years ago it just sat there in the countryside and people visited it as they pleased. No one would have thought of damaging it. Now it's all fenced in and access is restricted by the government.

About fifty years ago I rode into Stonehenge on my bicycle, after having inspected the nearby chalk giant earlier that afternoon, and spent the night of the summer solstice on the grass in the middle of the stone ring in a sleeping bag. It was an interesting experience.
