I am incredibly confused. Why would people want to shop there because of a hill? It looks terrible to boot.
You know what will make people want to go shopping on main street again? A giant mound of dirt!
This kind of pisses me off:
I would ask “what’s wrong with your government”, but it’s not as if we don’t know. In general, I’m just furious that the UK has no regard for its heritage sites. My father worked for more than a decade to get heritage status for a heritage site - achieving this status is no joke. And it’s not as if Stonehenge is in particularly good shape to begin with - I was there in the early 2000s, and even then it was in a pretty crappy state.
Amazing such a short clip could capture and convey the UK today.
Well, it lasted less than a fifth of a Scaramucci.

It doesn’t matter, does it? That’s what Brexit was all about!
If by “That’s what Brexit was all about!” you mean making a huge pile of shit!
Yeah well obviously when we were in the EU we didn’t have the freedom to make hills like this, so now we do, and we are FREE, so who gives a f*CK if we didn’t get the hill right first time.
We’ll keep trying, we shall never surrender.
Hills on the the beaches, hills on the hills.
FREEDOM!
Also, this hill helps keep the undesirables out.
And the money we make from this hill could help find the NHS.
I’m sure there are places where a hill would be a big hit, maybe in the Netherlands, which is famously flat.
London is apparently not one of those places.
I just can’t get over paying $5 to walk up a fake hill. Give it ten years, they’ll be saying how London has the best hills, you can’t get as good a hill anywhere else.

As someone who has lived in the Mountain West most of his life, artificial hills really throw me for a loop. The first one I saw was when I was in Kanata near Ottawa, IIRC. I’m sure I just stared blankly for a while when I was told it was an artificial hill they had built.
I mean, it totally made sense. Who doesn’t want to sled down a hill when there’s a bunch of snow? But given where I grew up, until that moment it never occurred to me that people would build them.
Once you’ve built the hill you’d think pumped storage would follow.
Well, with all the flooding going on, £ 5 seems a bargain to keep yourself dry.

Is there a non-paywalled link?

Can you quote it here? Can’t read it.
