Stonehenge is in big trouble. Unbeknown to most of us, a global contest is currently under way to select seven "new" wonders of the world. Next month, 20 monuments, including the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal, will be whittled down to create a new magnificent seven. But it's all looking a bit Eurovision for Stonehenge, the only UK candidate. Although 50 million people worldwide have so far voted by text or online at new7wonders.com, latest results reveal the famous landmark languishing in the bottom 10 - alongside the Sydney Opera House and the Statue of Liberty.
