h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Alot of road works there then?

God Yea, roadworks everywhere in the towns and in the higlands, very thin roads

Traveller in Time driving a fully unsuspended car
"Indeed that too, even on Easter sunday road repairs.

In Glasgow, as we did not even get out of town. "

OOOOOoooooooooo....Glasgow scares me!
I got lost on the M8...very confusing road

Returning to the teachers thing (I don't even live in the northern hemisphere, what I know of your accents comes from TV and my family) at my primary school we called our teachers by their first names. Confuses the hell out of people at my school when I say things like "Frank, he was the vice-principal" and they all go "WHAT?!? Oh, right, first names..."

It's weird down here, I go to a private school but all the kids who move from the public schools call the teachers 'Ms' and 'Sir' in normal conversation, whereas we'll just say 'Mr ____' / Miss/Ms/Mrs ______ or just start talking to them.

It's like the public school students are more polite than the private ones...

OOOOOoooooooooo....Glasgow scares me!
I got lost on the M8...very confusing road....>>>>> nowt wrong with glasgow lol where u from

Tig, VC is my other daughter

I disagree theres alot wrong with glasgow, theres alot right with it but shes perfectly allowed to be scared of it i am.

we took a wronge turning and got lost...thay is why
Glasgow scares me...I just don't know the roads...and then
you ask for directions and you're even more confused
because you don't understand the local lingo..even though
the person giving the directions was very nice.

*wonders where Glascow is*

I have heard of it though!

Traveller in Time flying over the islands
"It is just left of that dense fogcloud, right underneat the big raincloud.
It is on the crossing of the Clyde and the M8. You can not miss it, there will be traffic jams on all the exit roads."

that is only place in the world with cows made of glass in the streets!

Edinburgh is so much better. But any idiot would go there you really need to go up north its beautiful up there.

Edinburgh is not better than Glasgow, that's like saying coventy's better than... well anywhere

Edinburgh is one of the best cities in the world, its nowhere near as bad as glasgow

No, you're right, it's a lot worse edinburgh's nasty*




*I can't put what I'd like to as it would get

Traveller in Time under an Edinburgh sheepskin
"The quality of the roads I do not remember, are they paved with large boulders ?

The traffic is weird in Edinburgh, running bagpipe players, marching ever faster down the streets. And they did not even have headlights "

Edinburgh is like a better version of london, slightly less people
