History Buff
As a history buff, I was looking forward to staying in a hotel in
Salisbury, England. This hotel dated back to the 13th century.
When I arrived, the hotel clerk gave me some bad news -- my room was
in the new section.
Disappointed, I asked when the "new" section had been built.
"In the 1600's," she replied apologetically.

Do what is right, not what is easy.Androgens Order
Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

I had a similar experience in Germany - in a substantially remodelled hotel.
I asked the innkeeper if it was a new building. She replied, "Yes, it's only 300 years old."
