You will never be part of the shoal U01 indeed I sometimes wonder if you are part of the human race !
I do know that in reality you are a sensible and well spoken literate person... tis a pity your alter ego is so .. well... different!

But.....bear in mind that Capability Brown came under a lot of criticism during his lifetime for creating 'naturalistic' landscape rather than formal gardens. For that reason he was pretty much ignored and underrated both as a gardener and architect until the early part of the 20th century when he was 'rediscovered' by the tail end of the National Romantic movement.
So the major difference between a Capability Brown garden and Stonehenge would be that you probably wouldn't notice a Brown garden as it blended with the landscape, whereas there is nothing at all naturalistic about a big pile of rocks in the middle of the Wiltshire countryside.
In Uof1 terms that might equate Stonehenge to the equivalant of a corporate or multinational 'statement' besmirching the honour of a Wiltshire maiden, but not Maiden Castle which everyone knows is in Dorset, whilst Brown probably did less work than he put in invoices for cos at the end of the day can anyone tell whether he did any work at all. Which makes you wonder whether arcitectologists are even worth the air they breathe!!

Nice attempt at mimicking the inimitable, Kevin, but that's still far too coherent. I understood what you were getting at.

Yeah but Brian you're from Glasgow. You are used to making sense of the incomprehensible....
