Scottish quirks

“Tickets please” was how a bloke greeted his mates. It made me stop typing on my laptop to get my phone out and show my tickets for Glasgow Queens Street.

Scotland is quite quirky in many ways. You see things like this:


Trains aren’t in a rush:


The sense of property is very strong:


And in a member’s club in Glasgow, I guess there’s an inside joke about whether only members are allowed in or not:


We had our investor presentation at the Western Club. It’s been there since 1825.

The old gentleman who took care of the place also seemed like he had been there since 1825. As he walks into the lounge he gives out a big Christmasy laugh “ho ho ho” and says some inaudible Scottish sounds.

We spent all of our afternoon going through the slides and trying to fit a 20-min presentation into 10 minutes.

As I have to start a meeting, I’ll interrupt this dispatch and leave details about the presentation and conversations after for the next one.

Remember to be as quirky as Scotland.
