While traveling in the UK an American was looking forward to staying in one of the oldest hotels in England, one in Salisbury, that dated back to the 13th century.
But when he arrived, the hotel clerk gave him a bit of bad news informing me at check-in that my room was in the new section.
Being a history buff he was disappointed, but when he asked when the 'new' section had been built.
She replied apologetically. "In the 1600s." |
