Phyllis sent in a few photos to an Oxfam competition, and the result was a lengthy article in the Evening Times<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

Here is the relevant part:<\/p>\n

A photo of a Glasgow chip shop menu is among images of the city which have been made into postcards.<\/p>\n

Tourists will be able to send friends and family the quirky image, which was one of the winners of a competition run by Oxfam.<\/p>\n

It is one of four new Glasgow postcards which will go on sale at the Oxfam Bookshop in Royal Exchange Square.<\/p>\n

The chip-shop picture was taken by Phyllis Buchanan, 43, from Newton Mearns and bosses had more than 200 entries.<\/p>\n

Phyllis, who compiles dictionaries, said: \u201cI took it in West Nile Street. The reason I submitted it is my husband\u2019s Danish, my ex-husband\u2019s French, and the one thing that seems to unite foreigners when they come visit is the dreadful things we eat. I thought foreigners would like to send a postcard like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was thrilled to be chosen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think she would have liked to have won the competition with a more artistic photo, though. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
