    Glasgow? Where were you living in the US? Detroit or Flint?

      Glasgow is a very nice city and I live in Kelvinside, not Easterhouse.

        Yeah Glaswegians are friendly even if you can't understand what they are saying.

          They get annoyed if you pretend to understand and nod when you clearly do not. I once had someone with a broad Glaswegian accent ask me something on the street and I think I literally had him repeat himself a half-dozen times before I finally got it.
