A: Times Square, the Louvre, and a pile of rocks

Q: What bores Brits?

London - British visitors have put the boot into some of Britain and the world's best-known tourist attractions, branding the likes of Stonehenge and the Eiffel Tower dismal let-downs in a survey released on Friday.

A top 10 list of the "most disappointing sights" in Britain was topped by Stonehenge, the mystical, 5 000-year-old standing stones in Wiltshire, south-west England....

On the international list of let-downs, the Eiffel Tower in Paris is ranked the worst, followed by the nearby Louvre museum and Times Square in New York.

Well, Stonehenge possibly. I've never seen it myself. The Louvre? OK, maybe they just can't find the Dan Brown gallery. And, you know, there's all that art. But Times Square? Bunky! What are these guys thinking anyway?

Turns out they'd rather gawk at some flooded street in Venice. Go figure that.
