Those who have been, usually come back and say how wonderful the people are, and how brilliant a place Glasgow is. In recent years, I have never met anyone who has had anything negative to say after visiting Glasgow.:)

Oh please, I started all this off by implying nasty things would happen to me if I toasted St George in a Glasgow bar tonight. Yet I'm in Glasgow, with my Glaswegian wife, visiting my Glaswegian in-laws and looking for a Glaswegian house to buy, as I love this city so much.
There is plenty of English/Scottish banter in our family as you can imagine. My grandparents-in-law are both fervent SNP followers so there's no shortange of live debate either. Yet never have any of us taken it personally. I don't think you were in any way justified in expressing your feelings of offence in such a rude manner and I don't think Stu has anything to apologise for.
BTW, rippedoff, you got banned from this forum. Have you really got nothing better to do than to come back on here with a different username and start abusing people again? You really do need to grow up. |
