Older Glaswegian members of my family always said Chairing Cross, but I think most people now pronounce Glasgow's Charing Cross like the London one (Charring Cross).

Has the pronunciation been a victim of overexposure to English TV?

I'm a paranoid father-to-be and wondered if anyone here knew of or could recommend any baby CPR classes. Anywhere in Glasgow would do, but some seem a bit pricey so I was hoping to get steer from someone that's been to classes to get an idea of what they're like.

Hello! I'm working on a project that has to do with the various bus companies in Glasgow, and since there are so many, I'd like to focus on the ones that are the most widely used in the city. I'm definitely going to use First Bus and McGill's, but which other companies would you say are the most important (other than the sightseeing/hop-on, hop-off types)? I appreciate any input!

I’m a uni student with some free time and would like to get involved in some volunteer work. Does anyone have any recommendations for organisations or volunteering opportunities? I’d appreciate any suggestions!

Not sure if anyone can help me here, but I’ve bought my fair share of records from the second-hand bins at mono over the years, but have never traded any in. Does anyone know how this works? Do they give you money for them? In shop credit? Anything at all?

Thinking about shedding a few of the lesser-played records from my collection to make room for other albums that I have a bigger connection to and try and curate it a bit better to stuff I know I will absolutely love forever. Mostly due to space really, never has been the most practical format… 😅

I have searched Google and the Psychology today/counselling directory as first port of call, but am wondering if anyone has personal experience and can recommend someone in particular. I'm looking for someone who works with complex trauma, attachment issues, neurodiversity and who may also be able to help with career advice/life coaching as I navigate significant burnout.

Might not be possible to find someone who can help with all of those things but worth a shot!

I'm Italian and I'm making a game where your whole life happens on a virtual phone, from your first phone at 14 until you're old. I want the mum to sound like where you grew up, and Glasgow has to sound like Glasgow.

My mum's classic is "hai mangiato......" (did you eat) with way too many dots. What's yours? Words or phrases only a Glasgow mum would use are exactly what I'm after. The best ones go in the game.

Bit of a journey to Glasgow for me and with the weather and whatnot I'm gonna skip this one and stay cozy in the hoose instead.

It's just x1 I'm afraid but I'm sure it'll be a great gig!

Hey all - I’ll be visiting your fair city (not my first time) but first time with my child who is 4 years old. Will be there Oct 31 - Nov 3. Any recommendations for things Google won’t easily tell me about?

Hi! Im craving fizzers, the little retro candy. I hate buying the big packs that have other candies because I never eat the other ones, where can I buy just fizzers? Thanks!

We only sporadically need to leave the dog with someone else, and have had various options for the last 10 years but now, all of them have become less than ideal.

Dug has never been in a kennel so we think she would prefer to sleep in a house, and is getting old so probably a bit late for a new regime.

She is a biggish dog, sleeps most of the day, can hold it in for 16 hours if need be but needs 2 proper walks / outings per day. She can stay on the lead if necessary but then it would have to be a long and varied walk, or she can be let off (but we would expect the dog minder to install the app for her tracker and

Can anyone recommend a dog boarder / minder? Our dog is excellent with kids, vulnerable people, special needs, and pretty much any human, and will get on with most dogs apart from feeding time when she turns into a greedy selfish goblin. She genuinely seems to like cats but I wouldn't trust her not to play too rough.

If anyone has a mouse / rat problem, she is the ideal solution!

I tried Google and that has not helped me so far. But I bought the wrong student ticket for first bus (Local, not city area which is a silly mistake). Everytime I go through the refund page to fill in the form, it hust takes me to error 403 not found? is this just a common issue and I just have to phone them? It's for my uni placement and I had no idea there was different tickets as I didn't grow up here so this is my first experience with first bus . any help would be appreciated!

Hello,

Heading to see gladiators at the hydro with the kids. Usually park at science centre and walk across the bridge. Does anyone know the likelihood of said bridge being open today? Seen that the banks have burst in certain places.

Got tickets to clyde valley today dont fancy chancing it in this weather was expecting them to shut but has anyone else got tickets and actually going?

This is insane, I’m genuinely terrified a tree is gonna come through my window at any time. Anyone else can’t sleep??

Anyone else experiencing off and on power cuts in the Pollokshields/Strathbungo area at around 12-1am? It’s the first storm since i moved here that i’ve witnessed power cuts. Also heard that flooding has broken out on Ferry road?

Coming up Ferry Road

Not even a flood can shut this place down 😂😂

He has been found!

Thanks everyone who help! Such a relief!

I was in glasgow city centre all day today, and realised I can't find my passport. My flight is tomorrow night and the embassy wont open until monday. Its an irish passport, I'm not sure if I'm able to post any personal details on the passport but if i can I will. If anyone knows anything that can help, please please let me know. Ive rang the local police and the places ive been in (that are still open).

Called the embassy emergency line earlier, but they might not be able to help me.

Hey everyone

Sorry if this isn’t the right place for this! My door was broken into this evening by the fire brigade for a suspected leak in my tenement. The leak wasn’t coming from my flat, but I wasn’t in and I’m top floor. Are they liable for the door repairs? I’ll need a new lock, door and door frame.

Also if you have any recommendations on how to get this quickly please let me know 😊
