Glasgow. We're the kind of people that waste taxpayer's cash.

Former Member

Has anyone else seen the "Glasgow. We're every kind of people" posters appearing all over the city, sporting the city council's coat of arms? Does anyone know what they are for? Would someone in the council care to explain why they are wasting taxpayer's money on an apparently pointless ad campaign?.

Former Member

Is the right place to repeat my belief that Scotland is a waste of money?

Apart from that, umm. They're obviously advertising for a reason, although it'd have been more productive to advertise in anotehr city. Mind, Duirham County Council have taken to plastering "we're great!" on the side of buses, but they have a reason, as Prescott wants to shut it down.

Whereabouts are they being posted? I haven't seen any of them. And Kermit I really hate it when you do that.

Don't most councils do similair things? Our council likes to scream out its slogans on banners, flags, posters, ads etc I guess its to show your a dynamic European city of the 21st century as opposed to an urban wasteland of secterianism and crime.

And fortunate enough to not live further up north;)

In all honesty, I really like Scotland, and I love the shopping in Glasgow. I'm not so keen on Edinburgh, but Aberdeen is my favouritest city in the world. Even if it did spawn FirstGroup:(

The Scottish are so easy to wind up though.

There's about a million one liners in there

Or being more constructive, actually spending money sorting the place out, instead of putting posters all over the place, like they're in denial.

All over Glasgow. So you won't see them if you're in Yemen. Kind of shoots down the "tourist" argument, as you have to be in Glasgow already to see them!
As Bri-namite said they would be better off spending the cash on actual improvements to the city, rather than using posters to make like it isn't all that bad after all. They could start by painting the Albert Bridge.
