Put your umbrella up here in Scotland a lot of the time and you'll have it go 'whooomf', turn inside out, then disintegrate into bits of metal and fabric flying down the street. Princes Street in Edinburgh is a very good place to try this out as it's one of the biggest urban wind tunnels in Scotland.
The voltage here is higher than American voltage that is why safety standards are different.
I agree with what you said about the weather. Great video!
It's amazing what you say about the water, Scottish water is the best in the world, seesh you Americans, you wouldn't know wouldn't knw decent water if it poisened you, lol.
I’m in Glasgow today . 3 Rd November . No wind rain ,just some November sunshine . I’m outside basking in some autumn sun. Perfect . I would also like to point out that it is the west coast that gets most of the rain ,not the east coast . Tesco isnt the place to go for a decent coffee . Try one of the numerous cafes or restaurants.
Great video! Thank you. We went to Glasgow for the first time last year at this time. It was record cold, but we’re from Oregon so I wore shorts the whole time. Definitely a conversation starter. We are targeting moving there as we absolutely loved it and would love to get our high school kids excited about applying to University of Glasgow. Your enthusiasm was wonderful. Thanks again.
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed Glasgow! Going to university there was an incredible experience so I’m sure your kids would love it!!
Thanks for these videos!! I am an American starting my Masters in Glasgow in a month and these have helped put my mind at ease :)
Thank you! I’m so glad, and I’m sure you’re going to have an amazing time!
The reason you were shocked about outlets is so you are not shocked
#9 There may well be low-voltage outlets in the bathroom which can power a razor or a toothbrush but not anything major. This is driven by the fact that the UK domestic electricity runs on 220V.
Runs on 230v typically 239v
Doc martin are brilliant respect there a special shop for doc Martin in london in every Colour you could want
What a fine young woman! Charmed the socks off of me!
Hi I hope you are doing well! I wanted to say thanks for this video I thought it was informative but also fun things I hadn't considered. I was wondering if by any chance I could maybe get your advice on some other things by email. I'm 23 years old and live in Texas and I've considered moving to Scotland for some time. I'd love to have someone who can give me any advice, tips, etc. Thanks!
Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!! Yes, if you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email (courtneyschapter@gmail.com) and I would love to help you out!
What exactly is coffee creamer? In my coffee I take milk.
Hmmm no idea but i use Nestle's Coffee Mate in my coffee, wouldn't drink coffee without it, the coffee mate makes your coffee taste really creamy, i highly recommend you try it atleast once...i do 3 2 1, 3 spoonfuls of coffee mate, 2 spoonfuls of sugar and 1 spoonful of coffee granules. It's the dugs bollocks.
@@garymcatear822 ha ha-funny! I love sweet milky coffee and have used coffee mate in the past but I think I read somewhere that’s it’s not the best stuff ingredients wise. Never mind-the rest of my diet is rubbish anyway, seeing as I’m frae Glesga. Regards frae an auld Glesga granny (the salt o’ the earth kind!)
@@katperson7332 I'm fae Glesga tae, Tollcross to be exact although i live in Motherwell now. I don't really bother with diet, i went mental when they took the sugar out of my beloved irn-bru.
@@garymcatear822 I was brought up in the north of the city but am now “posh”, and live in the south side suburbs! I’m a sugar addict as well, but more for sweets, biscuits and cakes, rather than fizzy drinks, though I do like Irn Bru!
@BrandynAF I see! Thanks. Not sure if it’s available here, unless a thin cream would be a good match for it. Just recently I’ve decided to drink black coffee and tea, and so far I’m fine with it, though I would never have thought I would. I’m trying to cut back on dairy.
Glasgow huh, a good pair of wellington boots is all you need. What the heck is coffee creamer?
You have been drinking coffee in the wrong places, we do sell good Colombian, Italian etc., coffee you can drink black or with a taste of milk.
I wouldn’t drink coffee from Tesco
@@DaBongo89 do you mean you wouldn't buy coffee beans ?
She wasn't saying there was anything wrong with the coffee, just that they don't use the same kind of coffee creamers.
Also coffee doesn't come from Italy.
@@sheenamaclean8324 She hasn't heard of Nestles coffee mate, that is a powder creamer for coffee.
You do know Scotland has shoe shops too don't you?
………and the upmarket ones sell them in pairs🤔😉
@@vamboroolz1612 That joke deserves an award...the shitist joke ever award.
Filtering Scottish water is simply bizarre. We have great water.
There's nice places in Scotland but Glasgow certainly ISN'T one of them.
There are lots of nice people in Scotland and you're not one them 😃
I moved from England to the North of Scotland because I had to (don't ask) and lived there for 7 years. I found the locals to be incredibly insular and quite racist. Being wet and cold became the norm to the point where I failed to notice it - it was only pointed out to me when visitors would come and visit. Maybe it was different to the vlog poster's experiences as its quite a long way (for the UK) from Glasgow to the Highlands where I was. Most of Scotland is incredibly beautiful and I would go back again on vacation but live there again - never!
It depends where you go, found the northeast to be like you say, also small remote villages which can be very insular, that also exists in Ireland, but generally, most Scots are very friendly
Sorry you had such a negative experienced you were unlucky in place and time . I have experience the same thing in reverse in England so I guess people are what they are .didn't put me off nice English people though .
Moving from a city in England to Glasgow is like not moving at all.
@@Sabhail_ar_Alba Wells smallest city in England would be very different to Glasgow.....
