It may be the greatest Christmas album ever, but having Phil Spector's cassette stuck in the tractor, so it won't eject, means I rather tire of it over the year.

I ran the numbers, the proposed High Post wind turbine wouldn't even power a kettle when they need the power the most.

Stonehenge’s solstice alignments clockface:
Midsummer sunrise at 12, midwinter sunset at 6. Altar Stone skewed along the chord from 15 min to 42 min, exactly 81°, midwinter sunrise. Central trilithon parallel chord.
60-point outer circle embeds both solstice directions with simple lines. Sarsen.org

I was lucky enough to see Spinal Tap playing at Stonehenge, all directed by Rob Reiner. I hope the concert film, due out in the spring, is seen as a fitting tribute to him.

Wiltshire Council's planned wind turbine will stick up like a sore thumb when looking south from Woodhenge, most of the mast will be visible as well as the blades. (Stonehenge isn't the only important monument)

An elevation plan shows that Wiltshire Council's proposed Wind Turbine at High Post (PL/2025/06175) will expose Stonehenge to the distracting sight of the flashing tips of the blades. Completely ignoring the Council's WHS Setting Study and Core Policy 59, what a joke.

Wiltshire Council want to erect a wind turbine at High Post, the tips of the blades will be 24 m high, I believe this will be easily visible from Stonehenge - link to application for details and to comment. development.wiltshire.gov.uk/pr/s/plannin...

This unassuming hand-forged wrought-iron drain grate in Devizes is a tiny masterpiece of Georgian/Victorian street furniture. Quietly doing its job for 200+ years. It deserves to be listed on the Local Heritage List.
