The 21 Struggles Of Being A Glaswegian Living In Edinburgh

    "What the hell did you just put on my chips?"

    1. Having to navigate the masses of tourists on Princes Street.

    2. Being unsure of how to get anywhere without using Google Maps.

    3. The realisation that the city centre during summer can be a dangerous place.

    4. Having to learn the almost impossible routine of avoiding festival flyers.

    5. Having a constant backing track of bagpipes wherever you go.

    6. And don't worry, if you want to walk on the other side of Princes Street the 23 souvenir shops will keep your ears amused.

    7. The inner conflict of whether to thank the bus driver or not.

    8. That is, if you ever brave the public transport in the first place.

    9. And you finally understand all the moaning about the trams.

    10. Putting up with the never ending jokes.

    11. The awkward moment when people don't get the hint when you call them pal.

    12. Taking on the role of the all-knowing Scottish friend.

    13. And also the role of a hotel.

    14. The heartbreaking moment when you thought you asked for tomato sauce on your chips and ended up with something a bit more brown.

    15. The sad realisation that even in your own country people can't understand you...

    16. And therefore simultaneously being teased by your Edi friends for your "rough" accent and your home friends for your "posh" accent.

    17. You thought it was cold in Glasgow...

    18. Having to go back to Glasgow every time you want to see a gig.

    19. Having to go back to Glasgow every time you want to go shopping.

    20. Becoming skint sooner than you thought when you trade Sauchiehall street for George Street.

    21. And having to put up with this horrible view every day.
