I've just checked and the trilithons and lintels at #Stonehenge have been successfully set to British Summer Time (UTC+1).

I really do wonder if this is a tradition we could now abandon. Such a time consuming exercise twice every year to change them 🫤

Perhaps we should abandon BST and just stick to GMT (UTC+0) and honor our four fathers and five mothers some other way? 🤔🤷‍♂️

„Three years after bursting on the scene in a blaze of orange, at the end of April we’ll be hanging up the hi vis.
Just Stop Oil’s initial demand to end new oil and gas is now government policy, making us one of the most #successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history. We’ve kept over 4.4 billion #barrels of oil in the ground and the courts have ruled new oil and gas licences #unlawful.
So it is the end of soup on Van Goghs, cornstarch on #Stonehenge and slow marching in the streets. But it is not the end of trials, of tagging and surveillance, of fines, probation and years in prison. We have exposed the corruption at the heart of our legal system, which protects those causing death and destruction while prosecuting those seeking to minimize harm. Just Stop Oil will continue to tell the truth in the courts, speak out for our political prisoners and call out the UK’s oppressive anti-protest laws.“

Busy day at Stonehenge as the stones are moved forward one hour

Stonehenge is one of the world's most iconic prehistoric monuments, but did you know that parts of it have been moved in modern times? This fascinating image shows a moment from the 1950s restoration efforts, but with a humorous twist—it almost looks like the stones are being adjusted for daylight saving time! Of course, no one is actually resetting Stonehenge for daylight saving time—but this real historical photo from the 1950s restoration efforts makes it look that way! The Real […]
