Zuel....in the early 90's I was in Woodstock, Vermont, an extraordinarily pretty little town in New England. I only meant to stay one night but it was so nice, I ended up staying two. I was spending my holiday roughly following Bill Bryson's Book
The lost Continent But I got into a quite heated argument, in a bar with two middle-aged tourists from the deep South who insisted that the famous Woodstock Festival was held there in 1969. I patiently explained that it was actually held in upper New York State, miles and miles away. But they wouldn't have it ! Its wasn't even held in Woodstock NY, but 46 miles away at a place called Bethel.
You can always tell a American but you can never tell them very much, especially on their own soil ! Later in the holiday, I was standing looking at the famous Mount Washington Hotel, in Northern New Hampshire, a State I know quite well, and another thick Yank insisted that The Shining was filmed there, Again, I explained, not terribly patiently this time, that the exterior shots for Kubrick's film were shot at the The Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon, 1000's of miles away, but again, to no avail !
Have a look...do they look at all alike ?
