Tourists Welcome

Driving through the area Yoker, in Glasgow the other day I noticed a shop selling a multitude of things. I can’t even describe it fully, but it’s one of these shops that seems to have no theme, like a stationer, book shop, ironmonger, soft furnishings, it has a bit of everything at very low prices.

What made me laugh was on the canopy above the door, it had the shop name and a list of things that they sold, and at the bottom, it said “Visitors and Tourists Welcome.” Tourists?

This is Yoker. No disrespect, but I think the guy is kidding himself if he thinks tourists will be strolling nearby taking in the sights, see his frontage and think “Oh, look at that, let’s go in.”

Lost tourists, maybe.
