Mind you, Nottingham's not too great either, has it's fair share of murders, burglaries and muggings!

Yes but if I was a mugger I wouldn't mess with a man pushing 7-foot, such as your good self!

Chris is not one of the 1 in 10 that carries a knife though,

he has nowhere to put it what with the Trolly jack handle, mallet, wrench, etc etc

lol, to be honest its the same everywhere good areas and bad, they did Birmingham which is only a few miles from me they had gang members with bullet proof vests on! the local hospital said they often had people running around there with guns trying to 'finish the job off' so to speak.

I love Glasgow... I surveyed a 33Km fibre optic route around Airdrie and Glasgow and had a cracking 5 days! It's the only city i've been in that has smack heads rip off a cars contents outside a pub and then come inside the same pub and try selling goods back to the cars owners... he got a slight beating I think Wink

Being from Nottingham and with it to being a rough city found Glasgow like a second home but what's the deal with your square sausages? They drove me crazy having to ask for links all the time! Very Happy

I strongly disagree Chris as sausage is supposed to be round... it's even written in the bible Razz

but your Black Pudding style is far superior in every way!
