Hi Wharton. As you know the Glasgow dancing scene, two quick stories.
My friend XY was asked by shy pal to "ask up" girl he fancied. He reported back that she was boring, bit posh, etc. Forget her. Undeterred, Shy Pal asked her up and went on to marry her. XY often wondered if Shy Pal ever told Mrs Shy Pal what the best man (XY !) had once recommended...
A female friend was at dancing with her friend, who knocked back a nice but plain-looking guy. He tried again, and knocked back for a third time later, he asked politely: "Who are you waiting for? Rock Hudson?"
- "No. But no' Dracula neither!"
We can be friendly folk in Glasgow, but brutally honest too.
