No, I was jokingly referring to the range of activities on offer.

(Oddly, your "Most people have" line isn't too far off the mark, I live in Bath, UK, and it really is a fecking tourist trap. Biggest attraction in the UK outside London, but London is just slightly larger. Bad side is the council don't seem to get the idea that folk who live here may object to it being turned into an oversized museum (they've priced out most of the good venues and arts centres through exorbitant business rates, so the nightlife amongst other things are steadily dying out). Its probably great to visit for a day or two, as long as you don't expect anything with a passing resemblance to nightlife.

My favourite example is the "Jane Austen Center" - the writer spent a few years living in Bath, but they were the most uncreative and unhappy years in her life.
