Message:: [QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 179833, member: 136"]an Elizabethan/Tudor style house in the center. Shakespeare's maybe? Evelyb, that made me think of the ONE time I took a "guided tour" in the UK... DH & I were in Stratford on Avon. "And this is where Anne Hathaway was born," said the pretty little tour guide, "Or at least we think it is..." "And this is where William Shakespeare lived," she continued. "Or at least we think it is..." Faced with what I think was a branch of Madame Tussaud's (complete with an automated Henry VIII in the front window, raising & lowering his crown) - and surrounded by American tourists (most of whom, for whatever reason, were buying "Sherlock Holmes" hats and/or pretty little potted plants that could never be brought back into the states) - DH & I looked at each other and said, "Never again! That was in 1978, and we haven't taken one of those guided tours again![/QUOTE]
