I think we can safely say that they've been in Wiltshire for far longer than they were in Pembrokeshire, and that the original owners brought them with them when they illegally migrated to England... But I can see loopy Welsh Nationalists spraypainting illegible demands in Welsh, calling for them to be "repatriated". On the English Heritage signage...

"You'll never believe what I did when I was drunk last night. I've just bought a stone circle. And it was local collection only" Not as bizarre as the real story. Some local landowner bought it as a present for his wife. She didn't like it so he gave it to the nation. There is debate whether this is true, but he got a "title" after giving it to the nation so it might have been a means of paying for that title. A bit like the "cash for honours" row a few years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Chubb Jason 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing to remember, if you get offered one, take it, it's an order, even if you hate them. But whatever you do, NEVER take more than one. If you do regardless of how many you actually take, you risk being accused of eating 'most of the tin'! 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
