Guan yersel Glasgow!

saltire saint andrewThis article from the BBC caught my attention – being Scottish and all that. It suggests, that we Scots, would cut back on eating, or holidays, rather than give up satellite TV or broadband access, according to OFCOM. I am aware that this opens up many opportunities to joke at the expense of my countrymen!  Not only am I Scottish, I am a Glaswegian. The OFCOM report shows that the number of homes in Glasgow where people use a broadband internet connection is the lowest of any major UK city. This is both curious and worrisome. It begs the question, that if Glaswegians, are to continue their rich heritage of bringing learning, culture and innovation to the world at large, they need to get better connected to the ‘net.

For those of you who are interested, ‘Guan yersel’ is some Glasgow patter and it is our version of, ‘Go on yourself’. Now, all I need to do is tell my wife that the holiday is off!
