was once asked by an American why they built it so far from the carpark

On a similar note, I got taken on a tour bus (full of yanks) around some tiny town on the east coast of the states,
We stopped off at this one "wooden shack", the driver said, "this is the oldest building in America, it's 350 years old"
I was jetlaged and just relaxing on an open top bus, all these yanks were getting off to take pics...
Somebody said to me "Don't you wanna see the oldest building in Amerika?"
I found myself saying -
"Oh piss off! We've got older multistory car parks in England than this - And we knock them down - get a life"
Feel the silence ;)
