And it didn't get in whereas some concrete statue of Jesus and somebody's tomb did.
And, oh dear, if we haven't got the druids all up in a tizzy about it. That Wilmington thing has really got their blood up.
Druid Terry Dobney, who is keeper of the stones at Avebury, said he was disappointed there had not been more support for the Wiltshire monument. "It's a bit like the Eurovision song contest, there's been block voting around the world so I'm led to believe," he said.
Yep it's those bloody Motenegrans voting for the Serbians again. Maybe we should have given Stonehenge a better dance routine or been a bit stronger on the key change after the middle eight or something.
And how come you get to be "Keeper of the Stones" at Avebury. To be honest the Avebury site piddles all over it's more famous neighbour to the east in general "wow" factor and you can get right in among the stones themselves. but they have been there for a good number of years and can probably can look after themselves. Still it must be a sweet gig if you can get it "Right, check the stones, yep, all still there, off to the Red Lion for a pint."
And yet again the Pagans, in common with all religious types, show yet more wilful ignorance of the facts when they don't suit the "message"...
"They're places of intrigue, but we know who built them and why they were built, there's not a great wonderment attached to them as opposed to Stonehenge which has this great wonderment attached to it."
Stonehenge was built between 3200-3100BCE by the local neolithic people who went on to become the Devonii and it was built as a combination of religious and trading centre and happens to work as a seasonal clock as well.
Thanks to the tender ministrations of British Heritage and the hoards of tourists who come to walk round the outside of it, Stonehenge has all the wonderment of a pile of rocks in Wiltshire.
