There's a danger of overstating it, but I've heard it first hand from many newcomers to the city (and to Scotland/UK) that the readiness of people to talk to you on the street, at a bus stop, in a shop, on the bus, etc. in Glasgow specifically always catches them by surprise.
It is a nice characteristic to have, and it might just be that people who've lived here all their lives don't realise that it's not the norm in many other places (Glasgow is the better for it).
That said, it's not just a Glasgow thing in my experience. It's true of most cities north of the middle of England, and across much of Scotland. Glasgow does stick out as particularly "chatty" though. |
