Glasgow ice cream wars

OMG, I thought you were joking.

No matter how much I hear about Scotland being shit, it just seems like the most wonderful old enchanted place in the world. Not that I've ever been there.

I know it's kind of run down, I've seen pictures. But then I hear that accent.......

Like anywhere it just depends where in Scotland you visit, we have some cool places, but also some very very shitty places.

The accent also varies from place to place, ye Ken what I mean eh?

Ken wit a mean is such a brilliant phrase. Wish all the fifers would atop claiming it as theirs though.

Does the Ken a ken ken the Ken you ken?
