Do you know what, they did. London Bridge at Lake Havasu City in Arizona,
the one some daft Yank had shipped over thinking it was Tower Bridge.

That, I have to tell you is a Great Urban Myth. The property
developers who bought the bridge knew *exactly* what they were getting.
Individual members of the American public might have mixed up the two
bridges but then so do many Britons.
