17 things you'll know if you're a girl from Glasgow


Having spent the last 31 years as one, I thought it time I shared a few of the things that only us girls from Glasgow know. How this city makes us US. After all, there ain't no lassie like a Glaswegian lassie right? So, here are 17 things you'll know if you're a girl from Glasgow...

1. The absolute devastation you felt when The Shack burned down. R.I.P.

2. Two words: Noodle Bar.

3. If you loudly sing along to The Verve's 'Bittersweet Symphony' at the SECC, a fellow Glaswegian WILL walk up to you and tell you to shut the fuck up.

4. Doing the Glasgow subcrawl will never end well. And don't get off at Cessnock. 

5. You will find us in hiding during taps aff season. It gets dangerous out there.

6. Odeon do the best popcorn. Cineworld do the best nachos. Choose wisely.

7. The Garage is for the younger crowd whilst The Shed is for the older crowd. That is until your decade younger sister turns up at The Shed and ruins the rule book forever.

8. We don't put up with BS from guys. Any guy. Ever heard of a Glasgow kiss?

9. If we're beginning to get a little grouchy? It's cos we're hungry. Feed us. And carry on. As you were.

10. Chips n Cheese at the end of a night out = standard.

11. As we hardly get much sunshine throughout the year, on holiday, there may be a night where we end up a little out of control like an LA valley girl let loose on Cabo during Spring Break. Apologies. Normal service shall commence in the morning.

12. Talking of mornings. Always bring us Irn Bru when we wake up with a hangover. Always.

13. We are fiercely loyal. 

14. We are also fiercely independent. Cue: me thinking of this one hiking 1,184ft up a hill. Solo.

15. Yes. We did need those new shoes. To make us feel better about the 90 quid we just spent on a pair of Nike trainers for the gym. Swings and roundabouts.

16. At one point in our lives we have all walked barefoot down Sauchiehall Street. Solidarity ladies. Solidarity.

17. When 'Caledonia' or 'Loch Lomond' come on, god help anyone in the way of us and the dancefloor.
