Tam Shepherds Glasgow

Tam Shepherds was a very famous shop in Glasgow. It was a trick and joke shop. I used to go there a lot in the 80s and 90s. It sadly shut down a few years ago but they still have an online shop. Here's the Wiki link about it: Tam Shepherds. Anyone of a certain age from Central Scotland will remember this shop!!
