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. ... read more

Hi, all - it's been a while since I last did one of these as we've been fairly busy since we got back from our trip back to blighty. I'll have to keep this reasonably brief as Jo-Ann insists that I sepnd too long on the computer. In fact if she had her way, there would be no more blogs...ever.

Hello folks one week to go one week to go one week to go Now I know you are all on the edges of your seats waiting to hear all my exciting adventures. The problem is I havent left yet!! So I cant really tell you all about Oz for a few more days BUT I can tell you about Glasgow as a little trial run in Bryson-esque soliloquy (ok, he doesnt soliloquise all that much). (ok so soliloquise probably isnt even a word). Anyway. I was up there with work but still managed to get a few hours Thursday night/Friday morning to check out the city. Really nice place. I know I sound surprised- sorry all you northerners! But you have to admit Rab C Nesbitt isnt exactly your prime public relations candidate. But I ... read more
