American Tourists - WTF are they thinking?

I had the recent honour of spending a weekend at the very fine Warwick Castle. I'm sure you'll all agree it is a fantastic example of Medieval strength and architecture, and what's more was all built with the proceeds of French plunder during the Hundred Years War.

I digress.

Whilst I was stood before the medieval reenactors admiring the 15th Century Barbican an American woman strolled up with her family. She frantically gathered her children around her and said:

"Kids, this.... is pre-1944"

Words fail me.
