00:00My favourite thing about Glasgow is the people and the architecture, that's two things.
00:04The weather.
00:05Probably the people.
00:06People are very friendly. I'm born and bred in Glasgow and it's a beautiful city and I love walking about and looking at the buildings.
00:13Because I just think we're all very friendly. I've been to other places in the UK and I don't feel as friendly as it is up here.
00:20The weather. What else?
00:22How many favourite things do you want?
00:24You can walk through the city at any time and not feel scared. Someone will speak to you or say hiya to you.
00:31Someone will always want to communicate. Even if it's just a smile, you don't really get that anywhere else, so that's what I like.
00:38The bars, the restaurants, the people.
00:41Have you got any favourite bars or restaurants?
00:43Several. Too many.
00:45Do you want to name a couple?
00:46Rab Hawes, Druthy's.
00:48On a nice day, I'd probably go for a walk, maybe in Pollock Park or Victoria Park or Queen's Park, something like that.
00:56What's my favourite thing in Glasgow?
00:58Going drinking.
00:59I like the bars, especially some of them that have got live music on. I think it's really good to go and listen to some live bands.
01:06Where are you from?
01:07I live in Lenzie, just outside Glasgow.
01:09Lenzie. And have you...
01:11Horseshoe area.
01:12Have you been there your full life?
01:14More or less, yes.
01:15The West End's quite vibrant. There's quite a lot going on. Nice mixed community of people.
01:22I really like the West End, just for walking up and down during the day. I really like the wee shops and the cafes and things like that.
01:29I really like it. I think it's quite pretty through there, especially where Kelvin Grove, the art museum.
01:33I like going there sometimes on a quiet day, just to wonder about it.
01:37And what's your least favourite thing about Glasgow?
01:40It does rain quite a lot.
01:42I don't even look at the forecast really. I just get up in the morning and it's either raining or it's sunny, but it's still the same. Still Glasgow.
01:49Even wee acoustic places like Hootenanny's have always got an acoustic night on, so I really like that.
01:56Because then you hear people that are actually from here singing.
