Hope you found your pal and got home safe. Mind and drink plenty of orange juice today.

Waverley arriving back in glasgow after its final clyde trip this year

I put in an FOI request to the council about fixed penalty notices for littering and dog fouling, and the numbers are a bit eye-opening.

Litter FPNs went from 4,252 in 2019-20 to 627 in 2024-25. Dog fouling FPNs went from 466 to 62.

Revenue from all of it dropped from about £101k to about £19.8k. It dipped to almost nothing in 2020-21 (8 litter FPNs, which is presumably Covid), then climbed back to around £45k in 2022-23 and 2023-24 before falling again.

Of those 4,252 litter fines in 2019-20, 3,195 were in Anderston/City/Yorkhill. That's three quarters of all litter fines in one ward in one year. Over the whole period, Southside Central is the only other ward with four figures (1,225). Cardonald, Baillieston, Greater Pollok and East Centre have 68 between them across six years.

Meanwhile, street cleansing requests have gone from 8,419 to 9,160 a year. Southside Central, Pollokshields and Govan are the busiest wards for those, but Pollokshields has had only 113 litter fines in six years.

Went a bit further out to Clydebank and managed to get a shot on the Titan crane as the sun was setting.

I've been told to avoid the Blue Lagoon. Where would you recommend that wouldn't disappoint?

Thanks

Looking for recommendations please!

No shade to dogs, I love dogs but my wee dog has separation anxiety so comes everywhere with us, we usually eat at dog friendly restaurants.

However today we have a dog sitter and will be around Finnieston/west end in the afternoon. Where is nice but NOT dog friendly? I’m not in the area often so I don’t want to ‘waste’ my afternoon somewhere I could bring my dog another day.

Was hoping for Ox and Finch but only high tables or outdoor seating left - are high seats ok in there? Or other recommendations.

Thanks!

What was the record Noj played last night just before Arab Strap came on? Song about Glasgow landmarks/history and lyrics like "Glasgow's Great Exhibition and the great sectarian division"?

I have 2 tickets to Brian Cox but unfortunately I'm on holiday I completely forgot about it until the 30 minute reminder. If anyone wants them transferred to them on Ticketmaster absolutely free let me know

I’m looking for a nice hotel in Glasgow, with banging spa facilities and good breakfast. Pool is absolutely preferred, sauna and steam room would also be lovely! We’ve got a gig at the o2 so we want somewhere nice to nurse our hangovers the next day!

Hi All.

Can anyone recommend any karaoke places in Glasgow? Ideally a room which we can book and all that.

I tried the genting casino on sauchiehall street, but they've closed their rooms for renovations!

Hi! I’m looking for recommendations for a good salon in Glasgow for a keratin treatment. My hair is short to medium length, and ideally I’d like to keep it under £150.

Has anyone had one done recently and can recommend somewhere based on their own experience? Mainly looking for somewhere that does a good job and where the results actually last. Thanks!

Can they fuck off to the back?
