Elevator In Anne Frank House For Americans!

[DSJ]

After a group of us had negotiated the narrow steep stairs up to the top of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam last week, I heard an American lady comment thus:-

"They really ought to put an elevator in here!"

This would be like fitting an escalator up Nelson's Column.

Walking around the Genaralife gardens in Spain an American was heard to exclaim 'gee do you think these are the original hedges'.

I saw an American taking photographs at the Tower of London, I pointed out that the lens cap was still on, he hadn't noticed!

Overheard by Dave in the ruins of the old Coventry Cathedral, whilst a party of Americans was admiring the front of the new one ... "Gee how lucky that the bombs missed that one "...

Or the American on visiting Windsor said" I'm surprised they built the castle under heathrow's flightpath" .

I watched a son et lumiere show at the Egyptian pyramids at Giza.

It was ruined for us because each time the lights changed the Yanks behind very loudly went "Oh Gee Wow"

I remember a story about the USA singer who recorded 'Ghostbusters' (can't remember the name)
He and his wife were visiting Rome and had been refused a personal blessing from the Pope. His wife was heard to complain '' But surely he has kids who are into Ghostbusters ?''

On the steps of the alter at Canterbury cathedral where Thomas a Beckett was slain....an American....gee is this where the homicide took place ? .....

vulcan42 - similar - Edinburgh - "It's clever of the Scots to have the castle so near to the railway station".

[Peter Pedant]

Or Justin ( Bieber of course !)

writing in the The Book - I bet Anne Frank would have been a belieber !

In Edinburgh at festival time an American asked if they put up the castle every year!

Japanese visiting Edinburgh asked my friend in the tourist information centre when did the one o'clock gun fire at the castle ? They were not joking !

I bet it wasn't an American who said "travel broadens the mind", however, to be fair, they did travel to the moon. (and played golf)

[maggiebee]

It's all a conspiracy Vulcan!!!
