A guide was taking a group of tourists around Skipton Castle (http://www.skiptoncastle.co.uk/). As he was talking aeroplanes flew over regularly from the nearby airport. Eventually one of the tourists, frustrated by the constant interruptions to the commentary, said 'Geez, with all the money they musta had you'd think they'd have built their castle further from the airport'.
