Thing is, most of those who "identify" as Glaswegian dont come from Glasgow but dont want to say they live in one of the hellhole satellite towns leeching on Glasgows arse. I actually like Glasgow (my son is at Uni there) - places like East Kilbride, Kilsyth etc not so much...................... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to come over all Alba here, but I'm not a fan of a cat or dog being the official Hamster. It's the woke agenda gone too far. In terms of mascot I think the hamster is the unity candidate here as the dog folk and cat crowd tend to be pretty strident. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EK is a weegie colony though and is now separated by a fag paper from Glasgow. Urban expansion is rendering individual civic identities obsolete. Nobody is really from EK anyway. It's too new so nobody has built up that deeper connection with a place that we get through previous generations. EK is shite too. So there is that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll meet you there. I didn't realise you were from East Kilbride. I can't tell you how sorry I am... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
