I was walking behind tourist couple in their 60s through y Maes in Caernarfon. The husband points to Caernarfon Castle and loudly told his wife "That was NOT here the last time we came"

Visited Edinburgh castle as a boy, stood next to an American kid about my age watching them fire the 1pm gun, to which he said "Aw man, it was only a blank", like they were really going to fire a live shell over a major city EVERY DAY!
