I passed Tam Sheperds Trick and Joke shop in Queen st the other day, i remember this shop from when i was very young and bought things like the Mucky pup and stink bombs for classes you never liked at school.

They used to have a 2 bob piece (10p) stuck on the counter which everyone used to go and try and pick up to only realize that you been had

Its amazing how this wee shop has survived all these years with all the high rents and rates independents come and go but this guy seems to be built in with the bricks for many generations.
Good on him may he last for many generations

Anyone have any memories of this wee novelty shop ?
