While in Britain...

[Jordaxia]

Um... how are they different? You just throw a marsbar into a deep-fat-fryer and hey presto.

Because it's only in glasgow that the guy behind the counter will greet you with the traditional glasgow kiss, and the customers will tell jokes that leave you with a glasgow smile, and then when you're done, they'll all give you a big glasgow send off.

All that for a battered marsbar?

What's the difference between a Glasgow kiss and any other kind of kiss?

Glasgow kiss: a headbutt
Glasgow smile: Cutting the sides of your mouth open
Glasgow Send off: Stabbing your rectum.

*is never going to Glasgow*

[No Names Left Damn It]

Ah yes Glasgow, that Scottish town with a lower life expectancy than Ghana.

[Extreme Ironing]

What is there to do? What are some of your nations not so obvious drawing points? What would you like tourists to see that normally goes unappreciated?

Depends what you are interested in. For history, museums in London are good; for buildings, try places like Cambridge, Oxford, Canterbury; for scenery, Peak District, Cotswolds, Scotland.

[Colonic Immigration]

Kent has some good castles.

[Lacadaemon]

Eh? Glasgow's alright. Not a bad place for a night out, provided you stay away from the 'choicer' areas. Much better than places like Sheffield or Leeds.

Go to the lake district. Everyone seems to like that. People like Bath too, and it's a world heritage site or someshit.

[Hydesland]

Also, even though it's obvious, central London is really great. Go to Covent Garden and visit a pub called the Punch and Judy.

[Forsakia]

Wales is fun, at least has less of the over the top Scottish kitchness that has taken over some of the touristy bits of Scotland. Edinburgh is fantastic however.

If you're looking for off the beaten track (ish) then Chester is great for history. You have architecture from just about every period from the Romans onwards. Lot off timber framed Tudor buildings etc. Really nice to look around.

Does have more sheepshaggers than any of Scotland other than the northeast, though.

[Loria Aesir]

Snowdonia, seriously it's a beautiful place in summer.

I would say that York has gorgeous old architecture and masses of history, especially from the medieval era.

But I don't want any more bloody tourists coming here, you can hardly move in the town centre at week-ends due to all the bloody tourists clogging everything up. So don't come here, go away, go miles away, we don't want you

I think it would be a cheap jumping off point for a trip to Spain. I can't tell you how many Brits I met whilst in the rural areas around Madrid. They must know something...

Yeah, Cambridge is the same. I wish they'd just visit between July and September. Or just not stand/walk in the middle of the damn road while I'm trying to cycle somewhere.

Aye. But something all tourists fall for.

[Cabra West]

Plus you can get a battered marsbar and a can of irn bru. ?

Can't you get that anywhere?

Go to Edinburgh.
Apart from the sights, my BF tells me the chippies there do deep-fried pizzas.

I hear Wolverhampton is lovely this time of the year. It is widely known as the Athens of the North for its exceptional historic buildings and culture.

And deep fried mars bars and, well, deep fried anything really, it's Scotland.

Ever tried deep fried ice cream?

[Western Mercenary Unio]

That... that's just nasty.

In a Let's play I read, in the game the guy played there was a boiled pizza. I am not making this up. He then tried it, and said that it was good.

I feel sick... how is that even possible\?

Actually, he made soup and then dumped the pizza to the soup, but it's the same really.
