another bonkers Stonehenge fact:

'Stonehenge was in private ownership until 1916, when it was bought on the spur of the moment by Sir Cecil Chubb, the owner of a local lunatic asylum, as a present for his wife.'

In fairness to him I suppose there weren't too many petrol station forecourts selling flowers back then, but that's a really bad 'Oh s**t, i forgot the wife's birthday...' present.
