On another note about how 'old' things are relatively, I used to have a Canadian flatmate. She had some friends come over from Canada, and I took them all to the Museum of London (visit it if you're ever over here, it's great!).
On the way, we went past part of the old city walls. I pointed out to the guests which parts were 'old' and which were 'modern' because there had been some reconstruction. My flatmate turned to me and said 'Look Laura, you'll have to explain what you mean by old and modern because to us, 100 years ago is old'. We all had a good laugh when I explained that the old parts were Roman (1st century AD) and the 'modern' parts were 17th Century.
