A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like.

"We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods."

The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"
Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.

Big Ben (Clock Tower)  
The clock faces and dials were designed by Augustus Pugin.  It is an iron framework 23 feet in diameter supporting 312  pieces of opal glass. At the base of each clock face is  the Latin inscription 'DOMINE SALVAM FAC REGINAM NOSTRAM  VICTORIAM PRIMAM' which means 'Lord save our Queen Victoria I'.
