Their passion was admirable, but I had real trouble understanding their thick Glaswegian accents.

When we walked past the Central Station and crossed the River Clyde, I was shocked at the decline. It looked to me like all of Nicola's cash allocation stays in Edinburgh, but I really don't know Scottish domestic politics so I can't comment.

The difference between Edinburgh and Glasgow was startling to me, chalk and cheese and all that.
Think that would be Buchanan St BT . I guess we rarely go there now as shops have lost their appeal, until the Saturday evening Concert slot. It tends to attract beggars as it’s the main shopping st. Some are con merchants. Once you go past Central Station to the west it’s not too good and south to and over the river as both are in a regeneration zone much being built on now for Barclays Bank HQ. 50% of Glasgow post codes are deprived however and drug misuse is rife.
Nicolas constituency Glasgow south side formerly Govan is one of them.
