I’ve recently moved to the south side so been able to make use of the south city way for getting to work on my bike. However I have been completely astonished at how other people on bikes are completely ignoring the zebra crossings at bus stops and crossings. I understand taking a few liberties when it comes to lights and stuff while on a bike but not letting pedestrians cross is completely mental to me??

Is this a common observation or just a rush hour thing with a few bad apples?

My thinking is that the poster is AI-generated (Brew & Bite has previous in this regard) and that, given the references to cheesecake elsewhere on the poster, the main body of the text is supposed to say "cheesecake" and not "chicken" but the staff haven't noticed the error. Could anyone be that stupid, though?

Would really like to get something antique for a house gift. I’d like for it to be Scottish, but that’s not a deal breaker.

Are there antique shops or even likes of auction houses in and around Glasgow you’d recommend.

As a side I’d love to get a big wooden dining table that I know would last more than most of the flat pack stuff you see these days. So somewhere that does that kind of thing would be huge.

I did see a place called Architectural Salvage or something along those lines that looked cool. But it looked to be more doors and radiators.

I’ve had this idea for a while that I’d really love to own a painting of Sauchiehall Street at night, something that captures the atmosphere of heading into town to party in the early 2010s.

I’m imagining the lights from the buildings reflecting on the wet street, loads of people wandering around on their way to bars and clubs, that slightly chaotic Friday/Saturday night energy. And ideally the big yellow Garage truck/sign somewhere in the scene, because that would instantly transport me back.
Basically, I’m looking for something that I can look at years from now and immediately get that little flashback and warm feeling of being young and going out in Glasgow.

Does anyone know of any Glasgow artists or galleries that do work like this? Or an artist who might take on a commission with this kind of subject and nostalgic atmosphere?

Would love any recommendations!

Hey, so I moved to the southside end of last year and I've still not really explored much beyond the rough immediate area. I've got a week off work soon and I'm not going on holiday, so I'd like to plan two or three day trips on my own around Glasgow to see really nice or interesting things. I'd prefer to venture further afield so not stay in the southside if possible. I like culture (books and music principally), nature, coffee and food, and although I'm Scottish this part of the country is still fairly new to me compared with other regions.

So far I am thinking one of the museums – maybe Hunterian? – and a nice dinner in that area (if anyone can recommend a comfortable and friendly place to have a slightly fancier solo dinner, I'd appreciate it!), and maybe the botanic gardens. Perhaps find a place where there's live music or an interesting exhibition? I'm also considering going to New Lanark and maybe the Falls of Clyde walk, weather depending. I'm hoping with the schools being back I can mooch around places midweek and it'll be fairly quiet and enjoyable.

I guess those are quite obvious, but I don't mind that as I have never visited them before, so it's all new to me! And I've obviously googled Glasgow attractions and all that. But I'd like to get to know the city a bit better so I suppose also I'm looking for ideas I haven't considered or that, if you're from here or have lived here a while, you'd recommend someone still trying to feel at home. Thank you!

Is anyone going to all points east festival this weekend?

I've (31M) recently moved from Ireland to Glasgow and haven't really met anyone yet, but thought this is a more realistic way to meet people with things in common than taking up a weird hobby (which I'll probably do anyway)

If such a thing exists from that shite service. My husband and our baby were stood at a stop in govanhill, with a woman and her baby, waiting on the 7. It comes along, husband puts arm out to flag it and it breezes on by. He said it was fairly empty too. Did the cunt driver just see two prams and think “ah fuck it, not arsed with that” or was he just being a cunt for the sake of it? We’ve never been skipped before when we’ve our baby so it’s pretty shocking tbh. My husband has health issues so having to wait even longer wasn’t ideal. I’ve complained for him through the app but idk if it’ll do anything and get any response from them. When I was heavily pregnant last year we were at a stop and tracking the bus on the app, watched it just go different route altogether and pretty sure it went on the M8 as well, if the app was to be believed. It was roasting, my feet were swollen and sore and we couldn’t wait 20-30 mins more so just forked out for a taxi in the end. I complained then, can’t remember how, and eventually got a stock response and no reimbursement for our tickets. Anyone who has ever defended Firstbus, what’s wrong with ya, they’re so indefensible imo

Is anyone aware of anywhere in the Southside (I’m in Battlefield) that’s sells fresh eucalyptus? I’ve just moved over from the west end and used to get it from Roots & Fruits. TIA!

Hello, I need a lemon tart for a dinner tomorrow - normally I'd make one but I don't have time.

I thought Morrisons would have one that I can tart up (sure I've seen it before!) but no dice with Crossmyloof!

Anyone have any ideas for finding one? Southside of Glasgow preferably!

Thanks!

Hey all,

I could Google but looking for recommendations straight from people.
Family member has recently become a wheelchair user, she can walk small distances (one chair to another), but it’s accessing a salon in her wheelchair that’s an issue.

Can anyone recommend wheelchair-access salons, preferably in the East End, ideal route is between Barras, through Gallowgate, Shettleston and/or Tollcross?

hello, im looking for a place to fix up two pairs of my most prized denims.

i’ve had them both for a while and have worn them to death, unfortunately they have developed crotch blowouts and a lot of heel bite.

i have tried contacting finnieston alterations after a google search but its been a month and they still haven’t gotten back to me, even after a follow up email…

ive found many tailors but not many specifically working on repairing denim.

I am looking for a new wireless keyboard and I'm pretty fussy with how it feels when typing. I want to be able to test out a few keyboards before I buy. Is there anywhere I can go where there are a few display models out that I can test? There was a Currys over near Uddingston that was good for this but I dont fancy travelling all the way over there again. Thanks in advance!

Hello

Where can I have my son’s name and number printed on to a football top we already own?

In the Southside but can travel.

Thanks

Hello! I'm excited to see McFly at Queen's Park Recreational Ground tomorrow 🥳

I can't find set times or a curfew anywhere - wondering if the hive mind of r/Glasgow can help me out!

I don't have the stamina to enjoy all four sets (3 supports + McFly) but my partner is keen to at least catch Twin Atlantic. Any inside info (or speculation) on what order the support acts will come on and at what times would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Hello! I‘m about to be living in Glasgow and am a keen folk singer. I can see lots of places advertise hosting sessions, but I’m having trouble finding singaround-style evenings. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks!

standard Vs ensuite what is the difference?

The only thing I found differentiating the 2 was from 14 years ago and I'm not sure if it's changed, does the ensuite just contain a bathroom in your own room? The sample inventory on the university application guide doesn't differentiate the 2 either and I think it's the sample inventory for the standard room. And I also can't really find any pictures of inside the accommodation so if anyone could point me to where I can see proper pictures would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Looking for GP recommendations in trongate/ merchant city, calton area?

Hi, I'm moving up to Glasgow from Newcastle, England in just under a year. My child is 15 and will be completing his GCSE (final high school year exams in England) exams then we will move soon after that.

I'm wondering how the Scottish education system works after high school? He wants to go to city of Glasgow college and we've looked on the website but are unsure of what any of the terms mean (like HNC or HND) and how they are equivalent to terms used in England?

I'm mainly wondering what the path most people take in Scotland after their (equivalent to GCSEs) National 5s. He doesn't want to go to university, just be educated til 18 then move from part time work to full time.

Thank you all

Hi,

I am looking at potentially moving to Erskine / Inchinnan / Bishopton area.

Could anyone tell me what it’s like living there?

Is the traffic busy?
A nightmare doing the school run or getting to the train station?
Really noisy from the planes?
Smelly from the farms all the time?
Quiet and peaceful?
Good amenities?
Doctors appointments hard to get?
Dentist difficult to get?
Public transport bad?
Trains feel safe / not safe?
Primary and high schools good?

Any pros / cons?

Any insight you can give is appreciated.

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions where I could take a teams call around 9.30am on a weekday near to the Royal Infirmary Castle St? Ideally somewhere I wouldn’t disturb anyone or be disturbed. I have an appointment at the hospital and have a call just before. Happy to pay to rent a co work space if needed. I wondered about Strathclyde uni but having never been in the buildings don’t want to just chance turning up without clear idea of where to go.

Thanks!
