Ah, Largs ... many a happy summer holiday have I spent there (and in the family holiday flat over the water in Millport). I know the Nardinis of which you speak. Hopefully you weren't sat in the seat our potty-training son drenched last August.
Why suddenly like Yoda do I talk?

We did visit Glasgow on a day where RTAs on the M8 summed up the city's dietary habits wonderfully. First a tanker shed its load of lard, then a lorry overturned its load of pop and crisps.  BTW, does Irn Bru make your hair go ginger?

I remember it well. It took me months to work out why it is when you walk past a chippy in Glasgow, the smell drifting onto the street is different than anywhere else in the UK. I think they really still do fry the chips in animal fat.
And Irn Bru hasn't turned me ginger yet.
