I think I could write some hilarious stories compared with the ones in, say, the tourist guide for The Tower Of London. Not that any of them would be true, of course.
I was on a tour boat recently and they do like to throw in jokes along with the facts, abit like those hilarious jokes teachers use. Like a Jack the Ripper tour guide would do something like, "and here's where Mary Kelly was murdered. The killer removed her entrails and put them around the room. Mary wasn't too happy - in fact you could say she was gutted...."
