  • Not particularly, I’d prefer to ban the bangs altogether. If you let every variation of celebration be an excuse for letting off the bangs and whistles there would always be yet another religious section/version that justifies continued use. But in a UK community suggesting UK traditional restrictions does not immediately jump to my mind to be internationally inclusive. I wouldn’t expect to celebrate Nov5 if I emigrated to China, but then I wouldn’t complain that their new year’s celebrations aren’t on jan1 because that would be foolish.

















  • To mark the initiative, said to be the first of its kind since admission charges were introduced 125 years ago, the Guardian was granted 20 minutes in the circle on Tuesday morning to sample the solitude.

    Maybe 25years ago?

    When I was a kid, you could pull over in a layby on the road adjacent the stones and just step onto a path straight to the stones, later there was a small National Trust car park added with a parking fee. Then years later they blocked the road off to protect the stones from traffic exhaust damage, and built up the visitor centre you see today.
