Ordinary Gweilo

From the Sunday Times, in a report on the FA Cup Final:

It was not a good day for the romance of the Cup. Devalued by clubs more interested in the filthy lucre to be obtained from the Champions League, the tournament needs no-contests like this one like Canton needs another Chinese restaurant.

Canton? Who calls it Canton these days? Writers from British newspapers who are trying to be clever, I suppose. Would it be churlish to point out there is probably not a single restaurant in Guangzhou that would describe itself as ‘Chinese’?
