the only thing that's slightly daft is that maybe a tourist

IMHO "Is Edinburgh in Glasgow?" is a valid question, even though the
answer is "No."

They're north of Watford aren't they?

I believe so. They're a bit like Inverness, some way south of Kirkwall.

Lerwick's way up North, though, isn't it? ;-)

Yes it is, about 100 miles. Flights from Kirkwall to Sumburgh take 35
minutes.

My favourite road sign for challenging people's assumptions is the one in
