Today on a whim, we went out for a drive with no idea where we were going ... I was driving.

After following no particular route I saw a sign for Salisbury ... and decided to pay a visit to Stonehenge, Jane was only saying a week or so ago that she would like to see it, as she had never been.

So we do Stonehenge, and very pleasant it was too ... BUT.. here is the sorry tale of a man's youth being lost forever !!

After the tour as we were walking back to the car, we notice a sign saying "Join English Heritage" .. we have a brief chat about it and say that we should do that one day, save a few bob on entry fees etc ... but when we get back to the car and look at the leaflet it states "Join today and we will refund your admission charge" ... well we did the maths and a £75 yearly pass would mean that we get a refund of the £16.50 I had paid ... So we did it !

WE are now the proud owners of a 1 year pass to over 400 English Heritage sites across the UK ... better still, because we opted to pay by direct debit, we get 15 months for the price of 12 ... All I want for christmas is a tartan flask and blanket !!

Where did my youth go... I want it back !!

That I like.

Insult, with added humour.

When will the Kidz ever learn that sort of subtlety? Wink

I can't believe it - you have to pay to see Stonehenge - I must be really old!  I can remember when I went to Stonehenge in 1962 and you could wonder about and clmb on the stones at will - didn't have to pay a penny.
