Stonehenge and its Environs 134

The reporter was Tristan Cork, a rather sensible discussion was my first reaction, and still is. Mustard was right when he said that we get to be a bit 'subjective' on the matter; Though I can't see Cork's method of swamping Stonehenge with loads of stewards will be practical.....

Thanks Moss. I was particularly interested in this observation -

"And then, and then. There are the ravers. They come just for the party. It's a legal rave with djembe drums rather than techno beats, it's outdoors but it's cool, man. It's in the middle of Stonehenge, man. It's chaos, it's epic, it's carnage, it's mayhem, it's sick, man. These are the people I attempt to interview to get "a flavour" of the solstice. They are the adjectives they use.

If they weren't at Stonehenge they would be at a festival, or falling out of a nightclub in a provincial town, or getting lairy in Faliraki. This is the youth of this sceptred isle and they are claiming their birthright."

There are plenty of legal 'raves' around and they all cost money to attend. Illegal ones too - which almost always lead to arrests by the police who turn up as soon as they get wind of it. I personally don't think Stonehenge should be used for a free rave ... sorry to be a fuddy duddy.
