Scotland - what is it like, compared to England!

It strikes me that this question probably would never be asked in reverse ie. a Scots person moving to England.

Clydebank - is that a horrible place?

I live near Clydebank, my best friend comes from there

Clydebank is ok, you get good and bad bits, there are really nice areas round about it.

I could take you and show you all the best pubs :T:rotfl:

I dont really think there is much difference between England and Scotland, the general day to day rules arent that different

Gravitytolls lots of people have told me they love my accent, I work in a call centre and get told a few times a day I have a lovely accent and its mostly by *shock horror* English people ;)

No, because not many of us would be daft enough to want to move there:rotfl::rotfl:

I do listen to a great deal of radio phone ins, and there is defiantly a "type" from Glasgow, almost like slightly watered down versions of George Galaway , all full of anger and rage, very socialist. Horrible backwards men. Yuk yuk yuk!

Fife and Edinburgh accents are quite hard for me sometimes (and yes its all about that man 'ken'!), I understand most Glasgow ones (common or posh or even fake posh!) but thats cos I hail from Lanarkshire. Orcadian accents stumped me for a while, and Shetland ones still do sometimes. I like Inverness accents as they are defined but not hard to understand. Western Isles accents are melodic in a strange way!
Scottish weather can be bad but because many parts of Scotland are so beautiful (and even if you live somewhere not so nice its never far to a nicer view) it is amazing in nice weather.
This said I am sure there are many lovely places in England that I hev yet to visit.

Pardon?.............
