What was the architectural system used in constructing Stonehenge?

There are probably hundreds of myths and legends about Stonehenge. Various people have attributed the building of this great megalith to the Danes, Romans, Saxons, Greeks, Atlantes, Egyptians, Phoenicians Celts, King Aurelius Ambrosius's, Merlin, and even Aliens.

One of the most popular beliefs was that Stonehenge was built by the Druids. These high priests of the Celts, constructed it for sacrificial ceremonies. It was John Aubrey, who first linked Stonehenge to the Druids. Additionally, Dr. William Stukeley, another Stonehenge antiquary, also claimed the Druids were Stonehenge's builders. Stukeley studied Stonehenge a century later than Aubrey and became so involved in the study of the Druid religion that he himself became one. Through his work he was very instrumental in popularizing the theory that Stonehenge was built by Druids.

What was the Etch A Sketch called in England?

L’Ecran Magique, (The magic screen).

Etch A Sketch was inducted into the toy hall of fame in 1998

French electrical technician André Cassagnes applied his experience with the clinging properties of an electrostatic charge to invent a mechanical drawing toy with no spare parts. He called his creation L’Ecran Magique, the magic screen. Introduced at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1959, the gadget failed to draw much attention. Numerous manufacturers passed over a chance to pick up the new toy, concluding that Cassagnes wanted too much money for it. However, the Ohio Art Company took a second look and invested $25,000, more than they had ever paid for a license. Ohio Art renamed the toy “Etch A Sketch” and began mass production later that year. Saturation advertising on television turned the toy into a must-have item for Christmas, 1960, and Ohio Art’s factory worked feverishly until noon that Christmas Eve. Etch A Sketch has changed little since then. Static charges hold a mixture of aluminum powder and tiny plastic beads to the inside of a clear plastic screen. Knobs control the horizontal and vertical rods that move a stylus where the two meet. The point scores a line across the screen’s reverse side. Experts can draw a curved or diagonal line. Turning the screen over and giving it a shake erases the picture.

How long does it take to get from London to Stratford?

It doesn't take any amount of certain time because Stratford is in London. It's not two different places. So for the conclusion you can't get from London to Stratford because London is a city, and Stratford is a smaller part inside London(;

Unless, of course, that the 'Stratford' you refer is is actually Stratford upon Avon, a MAJOR tourist destination / location in the UK, rather than a smallish London suberb?

If this IS the case, travel time (by road) will vary according to the route you choose: the location is just over 100 miles North-west of London and can be access via several different routes / main roads. Typically, from experience the journey in a car will take a couple ours, plus or minus 15 minutes.

How long did it take for the English to sail from England to Botany Bay?

Assuming that your question is about the time taken in the era of sailing-ships (and, in particular, the transportation of convicts):

No exact time can be given because it varied so much depending upon the weather and other conditions, but to give you some idea, I can tell you that:

the first fleet of convict transports, escorts, and supply ships sailed from Portsmouth on 13 May 1787. It landed 754 prisoners (men, women, and children), around 430 ships' crew and officials, and 299 marines and their families at Sydney Cove (Botany Bay) on 19-21 January 1788. The voyage (including a month's stopover at Rio de Janeiro for resupplying and refitting) had thus taken a total of 36 weeks.
