Jesus's face spotted on the toilet door in Ikea Glasgow

Jesus, or possibly Gandalf, as spotted on the door of the gents' toilets
in a Glasgow branch of Ikea

A bearded face, with long flowing hair, is plainly visible on the wooden
door of the men’s toilet in the Braehead outlet of the Swedish furniture
and meatballs giant.

Some debate over whether the face truly represents the Son of Man, or
whether it is in fact Gandalf out of the Lord of the Rings, or even a
member of ABBA.

One Superstitous shopper said: "It takes you by surprise. It is really
clear in the wood.

"I was only heading to the toilet and found God.

"My wife thought He looked like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings but it is
definitely more like the Turin Shroud.

"It's certainly not what you expect to find in an Ikea store. Mind you,
you need a little divine intervention to get out of here sometimes."

In a further twist, Ikea bosses claim that the image is really Benny
Anderson, of the Eurovision Song Contest-winning Swedish 1970s Europop
outfit ABBA.

A spokeswoman said: "Swedishness is engrained in every part of our stores."

If the image is agreed to be Jesus, rather than a fictional wizard or a
bearded, middle-aged pop singer, it may be the oddest place for a vision
of the Saviour since a Welsh woman spotted His face in the lid of a jar
of Marmite during breakfast in May this year.
