Thanks to Dave Maynard for drawing our attention to this important development. From a Twitter feed by Reading Museum, purportedly from 1921. April 1st, 1921, I dare say.
Not very good science in the text, but we'll let that pass.
Anyway, as I said to Dave, I have happy memories of making trilithons from these exotic biscuits when I was a kid. Now that we are all in lockdown because of the Corona virus, we can all while away the hours by building models of Stonehenge and then eating them.
Quite a coincidence I was just enjoying a nice cup of tea with a biscuit from a packet of Peak Frean Trotsky Assortment (from the Revolutionary Biscuits range). I think they would do better in a Stonehenge reconstruction being chunkier for those uprights.
ReplyDeleteCall me pedantic but the uprights should be facing edge to edge and those pieces of, are they short cake? are completely inappropriate for what once would have stood in biscuit holes 65 and 66.
Oh! and it looks too finished, difficult times are no excuse for shoddy interpretations.

Bourbon trilithons and uprights etc will go down a treat with our froggy friends beyond Blighty...... as well as those of us who have long suspected there must have been Francophile collaboration, e.g. Aubrey Burl and the late Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath.
