When i was on holiday with my family on Orkney, we went to visit Mae's howe which is some sort of ancient burial mound. Anyway, my parents asked me what it was when we drove past it, and as i had no idea i looked at my brother for a hint. He said it was Nelson's Column, so thinking i was clever i said it to my parents. The fact that ti was a hill and not a column should have given it away for me.needless to say they did laugh and me, and still bring it up if i say something stupid.
