One of the things I love the most about the UK:

"Do you want to see the stone slab where William the Conqueror ate his first meal after the Norman invasion of England a thousand years ago?"

"Sure! Is it in a museum?"

"Nah, it's just a bench in a park now that everyone ignores."

But we've lived among the ruins since the Romans left, if not before...
