I agree that Glasgow is more chatty than Edinburgh....the problem is what you are usually being told is to hand over your wallet or face steel in your stomach. Personally, I'd rather be ignored in the East than chibbed in the West
Unfortunately you're probably right enough.

Ultimately, I'd follow my head.
Yes, Perth is nice. Stayed there for a year when I was 17 and at college there. When were you up? You weren't in wickes by any chance? Because I might have served you.
I'm sure Sterling's a bloody lovely place, but I've never been there myself.

About two years ago, so not long. I remember the missus coming up and complaining how cold it was at the festival. "It's bloody August!" she'd say...
Edinburgh's a cool place to be if you're a child of the Enlightenment; I maintain that its place in the western psyche is afforded not nearly enough prominence.

PMSL (and I can't remember the last time I said that on NSR as not many funny occurences take place around these parts these days...)
What does being Scottish even mean in these times of Immigration etc? I believe half the illegals are sent to estates in Scotland to live on benefits? Are they 'Scottish'?

Exactly, they're sent to the areas it's too late to save anyway. It's part of the master plan which will hopefully see the anglo-saxon race dominant once again.
I've lived / worked (sauchiehall street) / married a scottish woman (ex) and as previously posted if they declared independance they could not support the neds and schemies....
The only point of Scottish independence is to give the SNP politicians more power.
Other than that it serves no purpose.
I imagine that just like the other politicians they are also looking forward to an eventual very high Eu salary and expenses, and we will be the losers!
