Scotland - what is it like, compared to England!

I lived on the Southside of Glasgow for a while. I noticed parts of it were dirty (eg Renfield/Union St's) but thought most of it was ok. Now when I go back it just seems so dirty everywhere, shame too as there is some great architechture in Glasgow but the dirt masks it. Where we live now has some litter here and there and on the shore sometimes but overall it is so clean. The air is so much fresher! This said I do miss some aspects of Glasgow (the shops, the food, the people).reduceditem wrote: »Every time I'm in Edinburgh I always notice how clean it is compared to here in Glasgow!

That's when I tend to miss when I'm away. In particular the sense of humour. I can have a right laugh just going to the corner shop or my chippy.

"Maukit" surely?? Isn't "clarty" Yorkshire??You clarty besom.
When MTV Europe Awards were held in Edinburgh, Christina Agulera said she'd been called "a radge wee midden" and was told it was a compliment..... Maybe, sort of.... but about as backhanded a compliment you can get!Apparently, if you lose one sense, others senses are enhanced. That's why those who have no sense of humour have an enlarged sense of self-importance.0 -

It's widely used in the NE of England and throughout Scotland too. Wasn't Ricky Fulton's chef calld "Clarty Clark"?

i hate that 'nasally' talk
I do wonder at times how they learn to speak like that, it appears to be a newish phenomenon.
I must say with a couple of exceptions this thread has been remarkably civilised.
Clydebank is changing very fast with most of the shipbuilding and heavy engineering disappearing. My family came from Dalmuir (part of Clydebank) and my Grandfather sold up in early 1941 and moved down the river the house was flattened by the Luftwaffe a month or so later.
As for Curry Houses I love Mother India. I have found curry shops in England (south) to be fairly poor but to be honest I never experienced any in the Bradford area.0 -
My husband calls a certain part of a woman's anatomy clarts
From Encarta:
clarts [ klaarts ]
plural noun Definition: Northern England small lumps of mud: small lumps of mud, especially those stuck to shoes ( informal )
From Urban Dictionary:
clarts Sticky mud full of horse-muck. Tyneside
"Aa,m aall clarty!, man" = I'm covered in shit!
clarts genital warts
"my god man, your c**k is clarts!"
Although the last one is mainly disagreed with.
I have no comment to make on Sheel's anatomy or her OH's opinion of it.......:D.Apparently, if you lose one sense, others senses are enhanced. That's why those who have no sense of humour have an enlarged sense of self-importance.0 -
