Glasgow may have been voted the friendliest city but as much as we like to welcome people, there are some things that just outright rip our knittin’. From insulting the Glaswegian cuisine (salt and sauce on chips, no thank you) to comparing the city to places that are simply not of the same calibre and are pure pish tend to annoy us. And yes, we know the weather can be rubbish but if it’s taught us anything it’s that us Glaswegians are made of tough stuff and we know how to have a bloomin’ good time regardless. Anyway, knowing this as we do, we set Secret Glasgow readers a little social media challenge: to annoy your average Glaswegian in five words or less. The results were, as always, illuminating – and hopefully none of these cause any heavy ragin’.
