In pagan societies the midwinter celebration is of considerably greater importance.
If you are going to hang around Stonehenge for pagan lolz, that's the one to go to. But it's cold then so no wonder people don't go to that one. The fucking cunts.

Of course if you're looking to attend a free festival and get shitfaced then that's perfectly fine by me. As a teenager it was an annual sport to see how near to 'Henge you could get before being turned back by the police. Some people really took it seriously, crawling across fields in camo gear etc. It was rather fun.

Nah, it was funny. Honest.
You need to understand the context of the Stonehenge Free Festival and the (really serious) battles with the authorities, to get why people treated sneaking to Stonehenge as a kind of sport.

I'll never understand. Le sigh.
Did you see how they discouraged me from coming to London, yesterday?

That isn't fair K!
I was under the impression you were planning on staying for a while and were hoping to see lots of the country, not just making a flying visit.

I revised my stance once you said you were only thinking of coming over for 3 days.

I think it is fair. You asked if I would get fired for taking 2-3 weeks to go on a trip.
I said it would take years to generate the money it would take to have a trip that long.
So I said I was thinking of coming for 3 days in february for my birthday because I could afford that.
Then it all kicked off.

Never had my birthday ruined in June before.

You sounded like you would happily talk yourself out of it
You siad yourself that you are a worrier

I made a spreadsheet showing what I needed to save over 9 months in order to come.
I said that I didn't want to stay in a hostel.

Don't worry, K
London's fucking shit and full of cunts, anyway. Not that you'll meet any of them as it's also jam-packed full of Jap and Yankee tourists. It's absolutely bloody miserable.

When I worked in Bath
We'd make a point of trying to send American tourists to Stonehenge for the solstice, purely for the amusement factor in them getting lumped in with a load of crusties.

We'd also insist that if they wanted to visit Wales whilst on their European break, they'd need their passport.
