Many years (late 60s) ago I worked in a travel agency in Kinghtsbridge. An
American asked which Tube to get to "Edinboro". He was genuinely shocked
when we explained the idea of taking the Picadilly to Kings X and then
sitting for over 4 hours on a "real" train.


I'm not sure there'll ever be a time when I don't find such tales
amusing! Though maybe I'm merely pleased that a few yanks do fulfil
the relevant stereotyping, which is perhaps a bit unfair on the rest
of them. I'm sure there's a whole contingent of Brits capable of
equally daft behaviour when abroad (or even when away from their home
patch), though I doubt this is helped by Ryanair selling flights to
Vienna's Bratislava airport...
