Visit Britain ... and ask your ridiculous questions

The other day I read one of the funniest things that I've read in a long time. It was a list of some of the craziest questions asked to VisitBritain (the British tourist board last year) by tourists arriving in Britain in 2006. The list included:

"Are there any lakes in the Lake District?"

"Can you tell me who performs at the circus in Picadilly?"

"What is the entry fee for Brighton?"

"Why did they build Windsor Castle on the flight path of Heathrow?"
(Surely this could only have been asked by an American!)

"What tube line runs to Edinburgh?"

and my personal favourite:
"Is Wales closed during the Winter?"

Hehe. Those made me laugh a lot. Fair play to the people for asking though: if you don't ask, you may never know! They could, however, have engaged their brains a little more before they asked!
