Reminds me of the time an American tourist asked the tour guide at Windsor why they built the castle in the flight path of Heathrow...
And of the one who remarked how sensible it was of the neolithic tribes on Salisbury Plain to build Stonehenge so close to the road, but then wondering how they got the sarsen stones through the underpass onto the site.... :cry:
