Comment	Welcome to Glasgow. People try and push this everyone in Glasgow is great and it's a great place to be, and if you are lucky enough to have a decent job and move into 1 of the more upper class areas then this is true I believe. Oh and there is no point in confronting these people you speak about because they have this other Glasgow thing where they think they are in the right and you are wrong, how dare you stop them from getting pissed at 3am on a Monday morning - it's not their fault you have to work 5 hours later, in their mind it really is your fault. You could phone the police, if you get lucky they might breeze past and see you several hours or days later just to tell you there is nothing they can really do, but they will have a word with them if you like - so they can't do anything but they are willing to piss them off for you if you like, if the people are your neighbours then you could go to the local housing association who will be even less use than the hopeless police that you will speak to. A girl down my was was beat up by 2 guys, the next day they were standing in the street shouting at her friend threatening to beat her up while she was waiting on a taxi, the taxi arrived and the driver got out the car and got her in, he told her to phone the police and he would go as a witness for her. And surprise surprise the police said they couldn't do anything despite them threatening to beat her up in a street. We live in a city where Taxi drivers are willing to help people more than the police, I would even go as far to say I have seen Taxi drivers help more people than the police.
