00:00I love Glasgow. My soul is in Glasgow.

00:03Look up in Glasgow, don't look down.

00:06Loads of things going, lots of good things.

00:09We are here on Argyle Street to find out what people love most about Glasgow,

00:13what the best thing is about being Glaswegian.

00:15Nowadays, the West End better and the historical areas

00:22because the town centre area is rubbish now and it's dirty

00:28and I'm just back from Spain and the streets are absolutely free of debris

00:35and you come here and look.

00:38I love Glasgow. My soul is in Glasgow.

00:41I think the good thing about Glasgow is it's quite the acidity.

00:45Loads of things going, lots of good things.

00:48Argyle Street and Circuit Hall Street used to be fabulous and they're rubbish now.

00:54Everything, heaven on earth is in Glasgow.

00:58There's a lot of negative things now.

01:00I think the homeless issue in Glasgow isn't even funny anymore.

01:04The fact we've got beggars out on the street.

01:07We're a rich society that should actually be dealing with people

01:11and looking after them in a proper manner with some respect and dignity.

01:15I like Byers Road for a walk along Great Western Road,

01:19around Kelvinside, all that area is lovely to walk around

01:22to see all the buildings and the lovely restaurants.

01:26It's a nicer area out the West End.

01:28To be honest with you, I don't think there's many Glasgow people in Glasgow anymore.

01:31I think it's just so diverse.

01:35I think it is a very diverse city.

01:37I'm British born, but I was born in England, but I love Glasgow.

01:44They're super friendly, super friendly and talkative.

01:47The attitude of Glasgow is, it doesn't matter where you're from in the world,

01:51if you want to be a Glaswegian, you can.

01:53It doesn't really matter where you're originally from, you're just a Glaswegian.

01:57They're just so friendly, whether home or away.

02:00How long? About 16 or 17 years, off and on, off and on.

02:06I like doing the tourist bus, believe it or not, it's actually quite good fun,

02:09because you can stop wherever you want and have a look about.

02:12You can walk all day and see nice things and it's the buildings.

02:19Look up in Glasgow, don't look down.

02:22I've done the tourist bus in Glasgow and I've done the Edinburgh ones,

02:24but the Glasgow one's much better and the people on the buses,

02:28especially the red bus, they're very knowledgeable,

02:30so you do get a good thing of what's been going on in the city and the history of the city.

02:34Pollock Park is my absolute favourite.

02:37I love it there, I go there a lot.

02:39I'd love it anywhere in the South East and I like to be close to the river, it's nice.

02:42That new bridge is fabulous.

02:44I've walked that so many times already.

02:46The Govan Park? Yeah, yeah.

02:48Centenac, Centenac, yeah, yeah, my favourite place.

02:53Every day I come here and round and go to the house.
