Scandalous lies, I spent many a Saturday night in a bar in Glasgow.

My dad's from Gallowgate and most of my relatives live in Scotland lol

My wife couldn't watch 'Rab C Nesbitt' without subtitles when I met her.
To be fair, I'd been there too long, I needed them occasionally :)

My mum disliked Rab C Nesbit so much, she was from a smaller Scottish village, Lochwinnoch, and didn't want to be associated with 'that type of Scottish person' I thought the show was hilarious at times :hilarious:

It's in Renfrewshire, near Johnstone.
What great memories, it is also close to the lovely (Italian ice cream) town of largs. I am now home sick.:)

Hi carb Foods
I remember the jokes that the pope wouldn't want to come to Bellahouston Park in Glasgow because it was too close to Paisley :facepalm:

I thought it as brilliant.
I can't say I 'worked' with people like him, as obviously he didn't work, but they were close enough to him.
The pubs were similar to his local though!
Worked and dealt with a lot of the mining community of Fife. Some thought them a bit rough & uncouth but it was a hard life and I found them great!

Went to Largs when I was young, fond memories of no sand, loads of jellyfish and near hypothermia in the freezing water in the summer. Preferred Ayr.
