My grammar books says that relative adverbs are often omitted.
The following examples are written in the book.
1. Do you remember the days (when) there were no jet planes?
2. I'll show you the shop where I bought those pretty cups.
3. Can you tell me the reason (why) he's so late?
The book doesn't say why they put the parentheses, but I guess "when" in 1 and "why" in 3 can be omitted.
Can't "where" in 2 omitted? Why? (Or, should I just remember the rule that "where" can't be omitted?)
