Glasgow is fine, can honestly say in my 35 years I've never once felt in danger in the town centre, the scheme's can be a different story mind you..
essentially, bring yer sense of humour and understand that words like "c**t" can be used as a term of endearment and you'll get on fine. 😀
I'll take you for a beer, type. All the people I know are quite nice and speak properly 🙂
STW Glasgow beers anyone ? Seems a fair few of us on here
Meet intarweb people?! That's just silly
Glasgow is great, prefered it to Edinburgh...
gods knows where we went but it was great weekend...
sorry thats no help!
I spent 10 years in Glasgow and so far around 7 in Edinburgh. I much prefer Glasgow. The people in general are more friendly and the access to the best parts of Scotland is much easier.
Peterfile - there are three good universities in Glasgow.
@ Peterfile, after revealing my experiences with some of you guys Im not sure Id be that welcome 😆 Few glasses of whiskey is never a bad thing though.
Nah serioussly though, dont mind how anyone speaks, I am hardly royalty. Moreso get grief and impatience when I cant understand it.... But sure meh, have far more of a problem with the slush and snow stopping me getting out on the bike today, dont think any of us can solve that one though. 😆

The Uni, the Poly and the College.....
I graduated from 2 of them 😛

Ok now you're getting stabbed. 🙂
iainc - the Poly has some of the best courses of their kind you'll find anywhere. AHP courses and Engineering mostly.
George - I know - I did an Engineering based degree there, then when I went to the 'proper Uni' a few years later to do a masters got pelters for my Poly degree 😆
I spend a lot of time in Scotland and Glasgow is easily the friendliest of the cities. Always have a good time when I'm out in the city. Yeah its got some rough areas, what city doesn't.
My favouite bar is the Balmore in Possil 😉
ianc - aye, but did you do one of the good engineerring degrees at the poly? Surprises me that you didn't go to the college to do your masters as the "proper uni" has a crap reputation for engineering.

BSc Applied Geology, Strathclyde
MSc Geotechnical Engineering, Glasgow
I was trying to persude my daughter to go to Glasgow but she is at Edinburgh instead (Law) 😆
Is the "Uni" still in financial trouble? I was trying to give them £9k a year recently, apparently they don't like to respond to enquiries
I have a vivid memory of getting the train with my fully loaded bike from Glasgow to Broddick to start an islands tour.
Got on the train and within about 2 mins we were being talked to and asked what were were up to by a family of locals on their way home. All very friendly and had good intentions....... but the fact i could understand about every 3rd work out of the dads mouth made conversation a little difficult. The son took pity on me and 'translated'.... i could understand two out of three of his words 🙂
Confused Southerner 🙂
Seems i am in Amsterdam. Not Glasgow. Ho hum
Glasgow to Broddick
How was that train journey? Wet, i'd imagine.
