as long as you avoid the real slums your far safer in glasgow than you are in places like london and birmingham.

for one thing you don't step out the door and immediately be a target from muggers for being white.

residential areas such as.....

South - Pollock, parts of Govan, Ibrox, Drumoyne etc

North - Ruchill, Possil

East - Where do i start? Ruchazie, Garthmarlock, Easterhouse... could be here all night.

i'm no snob and i've met great people from all around these parts but these the areas i'd least like to be after dark.

after london, glasgow easily the best other uk city in terms of nightlife, culture, transport. fantastic city.

I slept on the bus back fae Cumbernauld once, looking very smart, slept on it til I woke up at the depot in Blochairn

walked fae Blochairn to the toon via Robroyston, wearing smart clothes, had no bother whatsoever, plenty of shrines there right enough!...........honestly, ah found a ball rolling right to my feet played keepie up with it and kicked it back to a few neds, had nae bother

I think people get scared for nothing
Report GASHWAN • January 14, 2010 7:45 PM GMT
yeah. to be honest the gang violence in glasgow is mainly gang on gang. it's not like places like London or Birmingham where being white is just an invitation to robbery. gangs in glasgow just care about knocking the ** out of each other, not stealing normal peoples mobile's etc.

junkies are a problem yes, but i'd rather face some glasweigan skeleton than some Yardie crack head any day of the week.

don't get me wrong, ive been beat up in glasgow a few times, but nobodys ever tried to take my wallet or mobile. complete different story down south.
Report GASHWAN • January 14, 2010 7:46 PM GMT
there was an interesting dispatches program "why kids kill" that focused on the gang problems in london and glasgow. well worth a watch.
Report punterfleecer • January 14, 2010 7:47 PM GMT
Yea true, it's a gangland problem here in Glasgow and the west, while in London and Birmingham they dae anyone

safer in Glasgow
Report wur • January 14, 2010 7:52 PM GMT
One thing I find quaint and 'retro' about Glasgow is that it has a nearly non-existent 'gay scene' compared with some other cities. So you can go on a pub crawl without worrying about accidentally hitting a gay bar. I prefer the west end for a pub crawl, but avoid Ashton Lane at weekends.

I believe there was a few gay bars down the 'merchant city' area in the 90s, many of which were owned by Stefan King, but they didn't last.

I don't really know the gay industry as am not gay

the Wellington bar is open I believe, plenty gays and trannys there, prolly that area? though I did get threatened by a pimp once there when I was walking back from a Partick thistle and Dundee game once and am hetero(Dundee fan too)

i've heard of Polo lounge? but still am not the person to know or ask
Report thelibertine • January 14, 2010 11:49 PM GMT
The "Wellington" bar is the Waterloo bar. It's near my office. There is a sort of gay area in Glasgow, which is in the Merchant City and includes the Polo Lounge. Not sure what the other bars are called, but that is the gay part of the city centre, as far as I know.
I find it funny when you see neds who dress and/or act in what I would call a gay way, eg, what is with the neds wearing those wee baby bonnet knitted headgear?
