That one has whiskers on it. Unless it was a different American to the one who supposedly said the same donkey's years ago. My dad reckoned there was a story about a Yank saying the same when he was a lad, and that was before the war, about it a shame about them building it so close to the railway line.
More recent true story. Amongst the gems on Trip Advisor was someone, don't know their nationality, who marked the National Portrait Gallery
down as boring as all it had was paintings of people in it. Stonehenge was described as just a bunch of rocks. What were they expecting?
We aren't a lot better. Someone wanted a refund on their holiday because it rained too much. Their holiday was to the Costa Rican rainforest.
One of my favourites was in a series about the Beefeaters. In one episode an American woman was talking to one of them inside the Tower Of London and told him she was interested in history and costumes as her daughter worked in a recreation of the settlement in Jamestown in the 1600s. "Do you have anything that old around here?" she asked him. His face, as he informed her that yes we do, was a picture.
