Snow in Glasgow

Matt:

My KPMG sponsored tour of the British Isles continues…

This week I find myself in sunny Glasgow, known for its river and curry houses as much as its heroin and knife crime! In fact the producers of Trainspotting apparently decided to film in Glasgow because they didn’t really need to add much to make the place look like Cabramatta on steroids (as well as heroin).

I've actually arrived during the first blizzard of the season, but have really enjoyed my time here! The people have been amazingly friendly (or at least I think they are - I can’t really understand much of what they are saying, but they smile a lot), the food has been great (no matter what people say, haggis is fantastic - especially for breakfast!) and the city itself is pretty kewl.

What has made this trip even better is the fact that the only hotel room left in town for lil’ ol’ me is the palatial ‘Roewellan Suite’ at the Marriott which comes with two bedrooms, two reception rooms, a massive bathroom (complete with spa and bidet) and a complementary fruit basket each morning!

My only opportunity for sight seeing so far has been a pre-dawn wander along the Clyde, (which, I’m told, is best viewed in the dark anyway). Hopefully though, I’ll make it back to have a better look around soon.
