This was really goodphinds said:To go to the opposite of this garden, I'm reminded of the story of the American visiting London who, long story short, desperately needed a bathroom ("loo") to take a whiz but could not find one and was about to do it up against a wall in an alley when a cop ("bobby") tapped him on the shoulder and said Sir, we don't DO that here in London but if you'll follow me, I'll show you where you CAN go.
Bobby takes the guy around the corner and opens up the gate to this beautiful garden and tells the American that he can go anywhere in there. Guy does so, comes out and thanks the bobby profusely and says that must be what they call the British hospitality. Bobby says, well, no sir, it's actually what we call the French Embassy.
