In Oxford it is a commonplace experience to be approached by an american tourist asking 'where's the university' (for those not familiar with Oxford, the correct answer is 'almost everywhere'). I heard tales of various mischievous answers, including pointing the victim up the Cowley Road and saying 'follow the signs to Blackbird Leys'.
