Quirky Questions - Things we never thought we'd be asked!
Shropshire's Visitor Information Centre Staff are wonderful and are always ready to offer a helping hand to our willing visitors in planning their trip to our fair county.
However, on occasions it can be difficult to keep a straight face at some of the questions visitors pose us with.
A selection of the more humorous questions we have collected are detailed below for your enjoyment:
Q: Do you have any details of whale watching in Shropshire?
A: If you stand on top of the Wrekin you can see Wales
Q: What can we do that's exciting on our honeymoon?
A: (Desperately trying to keep a straight face and calm voice) What about hot air ballooning or parachuting!

A: Sure, but only at Christmas
Q: Can you tell me where I can take a group of nudists around Shropshire?
A: Anywhere as long they are fully clothed!
Q: Can I freeze soup?
A: Yes if you put it in a freezer.
Q: I am going to London next week can you tell me how long the queue will be for Madame Tussauds?
A: Far too long - why not come to Shropshire instead?
Q: Do you need a visa for Wales?
A: Or a Master card would do.
Of course there are some questions that are better left unanswered, mainly because we couldn't!
