/r/glasgow
Welcome to the Glasgow subreddit. For everything Glasgow and the West.
WHAT'S RELEVANT
Radio Clyde phone-in rules apply. The sub covers anything that's relevant to Glasgow and the West of Scotland - so if it's a G, PA, ML, KA or FK postcode area it's in. We've got a few topics that aren't allowed. Check below.
REGULAR REPOSTS
There's a useful and growing resource at the Glasgow Wiki (thanks to users sevenof9k and LordAnubis).
Please check it out for ideas for your weekend in Glasgow, what area you might want to live in and lots of other things.
Please also use the search function, almost every question you can think of has been asked before. If it's been asked recently your repost will be removed.
NEWS SPAM
There are lots of sources for local news, search for the Glasgow Times, Daily Record, or even Glasgow Live if that's what you're looking for. Feel free to share any interesting or high profile news stories but we don't need a new thread every time there's a story about Glasgow's pot-holes.
NO ADVERTISING
Please do not post submissions on this subreddit for selling/buying items. Go to /r/GlasgowMarket for that. Be sure to subscribe, if you want to see those posts on your feed.
No advertising for relationships/friends either sorry, feel free to use The Steamie if you're looking for friends
JOBS
This also now applies to jobs as well. We now have /r/GlasgowJobs as another dedicated sister subreddit. Free to post your jobs on there and if you're looking for one, get subscribed!
FOOTBALL
We are embarking on a new era where Football posts are now allowed, indeed celebrated. Don't take the piss.
PHOTOS, MEMES, ETC
The sub is not your personal photo blog. Unless you've taken a photo the likes of which nobody has ever seen before, share it on your Instagram.
NEW TO GLASGOW?
Below we have collated some useful links for your convenience. Please check if what you need is in there first, before posting any questions. Also, use search. If you've got a generic question about the city it's almost certainly been asked before.

Hey, wondering if anybody has peaked this guidance from GGC Council on replacement windows? https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/10617/Window-Replacements
Am I correct in thinking that they have loosened restrictions on replacement windows in listed buildings? I’m so cold. I need new windows.
Looking for ideas for a family post-funeral lunch on a Monday afternoon. Central Glasgow to West End. Needs to be kid friendly but have a bar with good alcohol and non-alcohol selection.
What would you put in your Glasgow exhibit?
It's that time of year again when I think "Bollocks, I meant to start my Christmas shopping earlier this year" and feel like every retailer is out to gouge me.
I've nothing in particular on my list to buy anyone, so wondering if there are any recommendations for decent small businesses in Glasgow for gifts.
Probably going to get some coffee from one of the various independents in town, and vegan soap from "Och!" The Scottish Designer Exchange in St Enoch is on the list too.
Anyone else got any decent recommendations? Ideally I'm looking for "consumables" rather than giving something that might not be wanted and will never be used/appreciated.
Does anyone remember the sports emporium across the road from cessnock subway? Lived in Ibrox when I was a wean and any time me and my brother got any money for birthdays we would go there to get stickers for our (shared) bike. Good times.
I’m visiting soon for the day, I come down a lot but this time I’m looking to SPENDDD
I know the shoe shops like kershkicks and restocked and garms and allat, I’m looking for a shop with cheap tns, wanna try get 2 pairs, don’t wanna go over the top on the price.
Thanks.
Is it now possible to go eastbound on the M8 from Woodlands? Dare I believe google maps? It’s a big commitment.
Idk what to make the flair
Does anyone know if there’s a scale in the Arc health and wellbeing facility on the GCU campus?
Hi, since the release of Since Yesterday, I've been looking a lot into girl bands from Glasgow over the years, was just wondering if anyone had any stories/recommendations/photos/videos they'd be up for sharing?
Did anyone see any Lung Leg gigs, or get to meet Strawberry Switchblade etc.? If you've got any recommendations for current bands in Glasgow you've seen that are similar that'd be great too.
I've got a project coming up on this topic, so let me know if you'd be happy for me to use anything. I'd love to be able to compile some of this into a story through the eyes of what it was like from a fan's perspective when these bands were about.
Thanks
Love this symbol
I’m having a hard time deciding on whether to apply or not as their fees are quite high.
Does anyone know if the Nike store is back open yet? It's showing as open on google but I think that's a wee Fibb.
I'm not from Glasgow but wanting to travel through for the store and some things I've read say they've given up and are selling it. So I'm guessing it won't re-open if it hasn't already opened?
Thanks for any help in advance :)
Hi all, Some roadworks next to my house resulted in a load of traffic signage and cones and the like for a week or two and have now completed. They took away all of the cones and such but left a huge triangular sign on a stand right outside my window. Not a huge issue but just wondering who the heck I contact to get it lifted, the council aren't being much use?
If I was still in my student years I'd turn it into quirky living room decor and drawn a crudely drawn cock on the wee man with the shovel, but that boat has sailed somewhat, so now it's just public art piece with a wee man with a shovel and a semi until such times as it is relocated.
Weird question but does anyone know any good nail places where the artists wear gloves? I love getting my acrylics done but I have a weird sensory thing with people touching my hands
As the title says, I've a show at the Barrowlands this week. Instead of booking a hotel I'll drive the day, then drive home after. Only an hour or so away. So... Where can I park close by that preferably won't cost me anything. Thank you Glasgow 👍
Hey everyone,

Join us at anytime, there is no set time or day. Let’s make sure no man feels isolated this holiday season.

Feel free to share this with anyone who might need a little extra support right now.

Complete audio n00b here, have tried (wholly unsuccessfully) to put together my own system with painful results multiple times.
All I'm looking for is a hi-fi system that has a CD player, a vinyl player, an aux cable to play Spotify and speakers. That's it. Can anyone recommend a shop in Glasgow who could help out with this without charging me thousands? All my searching's only found the super-high end models. Thanks!
P.S. Happy to take online recommendations if anyone has any.
Just got home & I'm already looking at booking another trip in February.
I jammed a lot of the touristy things I wanted to see in a week, so looking for some local recommendations for food/things to do/pubs for next time. I'd love to explore more of the highlands, but may need to dedicate a trip just to that.
I'll likely stay in the City Centre again, so things that I can take a walk/bus/train to are a bonus. I used Uber a lot, but would like to use the buses more next time around.
Best food I found was at MacSorley's & The Duke's Umbrella. Rude Cookies was rad too.
Touristy stuff: A day in Edinburgh Bus tour of Glencoe, Glenfinnan & Fort William Glasgow Cathedral, University, Necropolis Christmas Markets Pollock Country Park Concert at Queen Margaret Union Buchanan Street/malls

Travel
Trains are fucked.
Not from Glasgow but often visit for work. My office is at the bottom end of Queen Street (coming from Argyle St) and it's ideal to park there for the disabled spaces as I have a blue badge,, but whenever I visit I can't work out any way to get there without driving through bus lanes. I've spent some time on Google maps too clicking about but just can't work it out for the life of me. There must be a way as there's other cars parked there all the time! I'm sure I'll probably end up with about three bus lane fines each time at this rate...
Hi, so my family has an early flight from Glasgow in 2 days and I'm trying to figure out which taxi service would be best to prebook. We really don't want to book two taxis but we have 2 big bags 2 medium and 2 carry-ons with 4 people. Every taxi company looks like we might have to book 2 taxis which will cost over £70 (we really don't want to spend that). Does anyone have any suggestions????
Hiya, I have a smart for two cabriolet. The hood is stuffed and needs sorted. I’ve tried about twenty odd places including body repair shops, all to no avail. The only place seems to be England. Does anyone know of anywhere in Scotland where I can have this done? Thanks!
Are the Glasgow Club spa facilities - sauna, steam room, hot tub - still generally closed across the main gyms?
Looking for recommendations for a nice chilled city centre pub on a Friday night to meet someone on a first date. Somewhere nice and relaxed not too noisy.
Lots of police outside Cottiers, screaming woman, then the Rock. Any ideas whats happening?
Hi there, I’m studying a part-time postgrad diploma in Glasgow. It’s with a private institution. Does anyone have any idea of where I might find support with funding this course? I don’t believe SAAS covers this course. I’ve been struggling to prioritise the course due to working enough to afford it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
