RoundhouseThere was Richard III on at the Roundhouse in Camden. I was down there enjoying some culture; sat on a bench outside The Enterprise pub just opposite quaffing ale like an alcoholic duck and smoking fags like a laboratory beagle.
An elderly American couple walk past, waiting for the Roundhouse doors to open, I catch a snippet of their conversation.
"Who wrote this?"
Flips through programme. "Errr - William Shakespeare."
"Maybe he's here tonight?"
"Could be - we should get his autograph."
And they wandered off into the night...

I had..a similar thing happened to me at Stonehenge.
Two very large, 'African-Americans' walked past me and my girlfriend and said:
"Say, these stones must have been here a couple a' hundred years!"

I used to cross Tower Bridge every dayand I overheard an American couple talking about the "Tower of London" as I made my way home.
Nothing unusual about that, you might think. Only they were both facing, taking pictures of (using a very expensive zoom lens) and generally gesticulating towards the Post Office/BT tower in the distance.
*smacks forehead*
(for those who haven't visited London, the Tower of London is literally RIGHT NEXT to Tower Bridge, where it has stood unflinchingly since 1078A.D.)

Just to be pedantic......the Tower of London hasn't been next to Tower Bridge since 1087, 'cos Tower Bridge wasn't opened til 1894.
Sorry...

Just to be extra pedantic...The tower of london has stood there since 1078, though. He just said it was next to the bridge, and had been in that location for 231 years, not that it had been next to the bridge for that amount of time. Ahem. Sorry.
