From Ananova - The last one is classic Staff at tourism agency VisitBritain were left scratching their heads at some of the questions posed to them last year. They included: "Are there any lakes in the Lake District?" And: "Is Wales closed during the winter?" At the Britain & London Visitor Centre on Regent Street in London's West End one visitor wanted to know: "What is the entry fee for Brighton?" Another asked: "Do you have any information on Samantha Fox?" One tourist wanted to know: "Why on earth did they build Windsor Castle on the flight path of Heathrow?" Another asked: "Can you tell me who performs at the circus in Piccadilly?" Other geographically-challenged queries included: "What Tube line runs to Edinburgh?" Encounters could be just as strange north of the border at the help centres of VisitScotland, where questions from tourists included: "Is Edinburgh in Glasgow?" Other questions posed to VisitScotland staff included: "Can you tell me where the mountain is in Scotland?", and "Are there any Sheena Easton museums in Glasgow?". Best of all, one tourist asked: "What time of night does the Loch Ness monster surface and who feeds it?"
I did hear one before of a tourist saying it was convenient of them to build Windsor Castle next to a railway station!
I was at the Bushmills distillary in Northern Ireland when an American tourist asked at the shop, "Is all your scotch Irish?"
