3rd April 2000
Hi all,
I was thinking of boring you this week with tales of what exactly is lost within the confines of my house, but instead the Scottish Tourist Board have provided me with something far more entertaining.
TEN SILLIEST QUESTIONS
... from those seeking help from the Scottish Tourist Board.
10) Do I have to change my watch when I get to the Isle of Skye?
9) Is "Bureau de Change" an old Gaelic word?
8) What time are the Northern Lights on? (Frequently asked at Aberdeen's tourist information centre)
7) Is that the same sun we get back in the States?
6) Is there a car park at the top of the Scott Monument?
5) Have you got a map of Manhattan Island? (Asked in Edinburgh)
4) How can I get to Loch Lomond and the Trollops? (Trossachs)
3) Do you have cinemas in Scotland?
2) Can you show me the way to the ratatouille? (Tattoo)
1) A tourist (okay, an American tourist) at Edinburgh Castle scanned the horizon before pointing in the direction of Fife and asking, "Is that France?"
CONGRATULATIONS TO list members Simon & Lorrie Lawrenson upon the birth of their third daughter, Chloe.
NO CONGRATULATIONS TO me for taking so long to catch up on these messages that I've realised I have no-one to issue no congratulations to!
Have a good week!
Tony
