I have lived here for over 10 years and never felt anything but welcome.I have lived and worked in Glasgow for a long time pal, there's a pathological hatred of the English. It's inbred.
I think Braveheart was the worst thing to happen for that whole thing. It's quite an emotive piece as a film should be but obviously it's not the real story of William Wallace. Written by an American last name Wallace (no relation apparently) with Scottish descent. Says enough.I have lived here for over 10 years and never felt anything but welcome.
Such a friendly open minded city. Strangers will start a conversation with you all the time.
If you think there is a hatred towards the English I suggest it's a problem with you not your nationality.
If you act like a dick, you will be treated like a dick.

Absolute fucking horseshit.I have lived and worked in Glasgow for a long time pal, there's a pathological hatred of the English. It's inbred.
I've had countless holidays and visits to Scotland over the years and enjoyed them all. The Scots can be a bit gruff at first but a lot of it is their sense of humour AND because it has been instilled into some of them that they should hate the English because of some bullshit 800 year old history.
One story that sums up some Scots mentality is, about 15 years ago we went to Greece and met a couple from Stirling. We got on really well with them and around the third night he said, quote, "Do you know I fucking hate the English, but I've never met an Englishman I didn't like."
That quote sums up a hell of a lot for me. BTW we finished off a great week and left as friends.
Their food is fucking appalling though.
I intend to eat a deep fried Mars bar tomorrow. It just sounds so weird that I feel I must try it. Once.
Yep, they are fucking awful. However, you've got to try one just for interest!I'm Scottish and Ive only ever had one!! They are bowfing.
I'm calling bullshit on that one. Where did you go to drink and socialise? Although I'm a jock, I've lived the vast majority of my life in England, but I did spend two years working in Glasgow from 2010 to 2012, and I went drinking in the city centre. There were plenty of English accents on show and I never, ever saw anyone get stick for it - in fact I'd say they were more than likely bought a point and asked where about in England they came from.I have lived and worked in Glasgow for a long time pal, there's a pathological hatred of the English.

Yep, but the side that love the ROI don't all hate the English.50,000 Rangers fans sing God save the queen and rule Britannia every other week. One half of Glasgow loves the English/Britain while the other loves all things Republic of Ireland.
There's still a few small minded dickheads up there but overall this idea that all Scotland hate the English is bollocks - unless they just hide it really well from me.Yep, but the side that love the ROI don't all hate the English.

What a lot of shite. Whilst I agree there are some people that don't like the English I think you'll find the vast majority do. Most Scottish people have friends or family in England. The "hatred"is in sport. Like it or not England is Scotland's biggest oldest sporting rivals and there's nothing better than watching your rivals suffer. Or do you think city fans don't love seeing the rags lose?As for the "yes voter extemests" you do know a large percentage of English voters voted yes? I have lived in England 36 years but if I was living in Scotland at the referendum I'd have been a yes voter. It doesn't make me hate the English any more than Brexit voters hate Europeans. Don't try and stir trouble where there isn't any. On the whole Celtic fans have a decent reputation. But yes there are some stuck in the dark ages. Pretty much the same with rangers. Anyone looking for trouble will find it wherever they go, those that don't tend to not find any. Like every rule there's an exception but the vast majority of city fans will have a great time in GlasgowYep, there's some complete and utter roasters up here who are so blinkered they just can't say anything good about the English and refuse to give them credit. These will be yes voter extremists.
Be my guest. Be careful you don't burn your mouth off when you bite into it. The hot caramel with stick to you mouth.
