Tourist tat

Why do so many beautiful places on this wonderful planet get spoilt by tourist shops?

Who buys the porcelain trinkets, the unfunny cheap ill fitting t-shirts, the t - towels with pictures of strange animals on.

There should be a law against more than two of these tourist tat shops in any one town or village.

All I want to buy when I'm on holiday, is sun tan lotion, a loose spliff and a vaguely up to date copy of the London Times - only one of the above was available on last weeks holiday. Thank god I'm not burnt as well as bitter.

did somebody say trinkets, shiney ones where? I need more trinkets. Ill fitting? they fit me
