FAKING HELL

Tour operators in Shanghai, China, have been asked by the city government NOT to take tourists to the infamous and popular Xiangyang fake goods market, the South China Morning Post reports.

Just to make sure no one is tempted to break the agreement, the authorities have set up nine closed-circuit TV cameras to monitor the market entrances.

In future, tourists will have to slip in to the market in ones and twos, like a British stag party trying to get into a nightclub after pub closing time.

If city bosses are so bothered about the fake goods trade, why don't they just close the market down?

I think we all know the answer to THAT one.
