I know what you mean...

In '69 I managed to get to England for a short visit, and was amazed, totally amazed at how old things are there, as a rule. Things just seem ancient... walking around Westminster Abbey was like living in a children's fairy tale or something.

They tolerate us, for sentimental reasons I guess.
