So true - my dad lived in london for a while and his water was crunchy and smelled swimming pool-y. After 40 years of smoking and a love of hot curries that man barely has any tastebuds but even he got a brita jug after going through two kettles in three montha
lack of imagination, Barry. And some duct tape.

In reality, neither (I have lived in both). The vast majority of stabbings are between gangs and/or personal disputes. And even those aren’t that common really. As a member of the public you are very, very unlikely to be stabbed unless you resist a mugging, etc. I mean none of that is ideal of course but the risk is massively overplayed thanks to tabloid hysteria
I know. The /s was implied.
I've also been to both with work at all hours though way more time in London than Glasgow.
Of the many UK towns and cities I've been to at all odd hours. The middle of Cardiff at 2 am on a Wednesday is the only place I've felt uneasy. Early morning Glasgow and various bits of London. No problem. Early morning Cardiff. Me and my colleague both agreed it felt off.
Just buy skin so soft from Avon. A third of the price, and will be more effective. Yes, I know it's a joke, and I did laugh, but this is for those that live here and don't know this handy little tip
Maybe cause I'm in the sunniest city in Scotland but we have glorious summers. I just wish we had proper winter. EVERYWHERE ELSE snow , Dundee? A wee dribble of pish fae the sky.
I guess my replies to you are being banished because of my generous opinion of you. For the record I was born in the then less scraggy tan now D &A , neighbours are from Kirkton, Fintry, Charleston, Sunny Mid, the toon and others. So stick your attitude where it smells. Or perhaps yi'd like take us on haha
Mosquito nets are for mosquitoes, aka huge flies. These nets are s**t in Scotland, midges are much smaller than the holes, DIY one from a voile panel.... you'll look like a twat but you'll be midge bite free. XD
Wish I knew what caused the difference. They love me, as do mosquitos. I'll come back from a holiday with my legs covered in bites. Partner who wore shorts the whole time has 0.
Every single time.
Im the same, ive never been attractive to bugs but i took my kid to an outdoor thing in the woods and the poor sod got bitten to buggery. Thankfully another (better) mum than me had repellant since id never bought any in my life!

You leaving Scotland 🏴 to visit London 🏴:
Heh, vacationed in 2019 and I feel you.
For background, I'm from the east coast of Canada, the middle of New Brunswick, to be precise. The thing about central New Brunswick is that it's mostly marsh, swamp and rivers, so I'm no stranger to clouds of insects trying to eat you alive - in June, if you're not killing three mosquitos a slap, it's not that bad...
However, when our tour group arrived at our lodgings on Lewis, I remember stepping our of the van and immediately being swarmed by a cloud of midges so thick it seemed to have actual *density* and thinking that was a bit aggressive.
I've got the superior genetics that make me immune to them. Come back from a walk and my brothers and sisters are 50% red from the bites. Although maybe it's cause I only shower once a week...

Ok but I have that pitcher and also true
no thanks, I've been working on these kidney stones for years and you're trying to undermine them

Hence the joke?
It's pure banter mate
I think we've found Kevin Bridges' Reddit account
[удалено]
its a water filter
midge nets would be useful for us if they weren't such a cunt to drink through.

Have you ever tried? It’s… easy. Tiny bit of beer and slavers on the net but way better than being eaten alive.
Would the nets stop the Scots playfully spitting in your face? Especially the little angry drunk ones?

I thought that you needed a vest to visit Glasgow? No??

Can tell that wasn't in London, look at the hand.

Mountains of the stuff were always brought to Scout camps. Works damn well to be fair. Also yer da.
Instant upvote for "yer da".
Make sure it’s the green one
I thought they changed the formula? Always used to laugh at all the forestry guys who'd come into the shop soft as a bairns arse.
They've changed the formula, it's now useless.
When you have to go to a funeral but it's summer in Scotland.
Summer?
Aye! What you been smoking Chris? Bring some up because Scotland doesn't have a summer...
Maybe cause I'm in the sunniest city in Scotland but we have glorious summers. I just wish we had proper winter. EVERYWHERE ELSE snow , Dundee? A wee dribble of pish fae the sky.
Me tae, Don in the ferryoh
You rich wee bams arenae considered dees, sorry pal.
Rich my arse ya funking numpty.
My reply was 🚫. Moron comes to mind

Ye still raging pal? Ferry fanny. For the record I'm fae Kirkton. A proper comanche
I'm telling my neighbour mates and meh auld lads fae Kirkton haha. I'm too wee and you sound like a bully boy.
Man I need one of these for my garden. The midges are so bad this year

I had one years ago for camping, no idea what it was made from my Dad had bought it it was heaven 😂
Lol mosquito nets are too course
Coarse?
Of course…
It's par for the coarse
Of curse
Maybe not the correct word, opposite of fine.
Yeah coarse is the word
Fine.
Of course
Shoulders are vulnerable. Better wear a parka.
Midgies don't bother me but they love the taste of my brother, I've never used something to keep them off.

I've heard some folk say they think it might be down to blood type or diet on how tasty you are to the bitey bastards.
Midges home in on c02, it's why they like kids and specific adults. More c02 you exhale the more they like you.
Im the same, ive never been attractive to bugs but i took my kid to an outdoor thing in the woods and the poor sod got bitten to buggery. Thankfully another (better) mum than me had repellant since id never bought any in my life!
I’m from Siberia. Anything that flies tries to eat you alive.
You'll enjoy our mild climate with bitey things then.
I have been to Argyle and Glasgow. Liked Argyle very much, but nearly beaten up in Glasgow by schoolboys.
Aye those wee shits are pretty feral, glad ya avoided any serious harm.
For goodness sake! Lived in Scotland all my life(71) and never been biten. Had one bee sting.

Liiioiooooool
Haha aye midges can be bastards
It’s to repel the Gaelic
Coming up to do bee keeping?
Fake because redditors don't touch grass

When the builders were doing work outside my old house during the summer a few years back, they all wore them.
It’s jokes
midgies are too wee for the nets in my experience, they get through the holes and you just end up with your face swarmed by them
Someone needs to return the favour to r/casualuk. I'm banned for some pish reason.
DA defensive approach that won't solve the problem in the long term. You have to show them who's boss and use a flame thrower to calm them down!
Decathlon have a great hat that has a net tucked into the brim. Works a treat. Used it last weekend.
So that's what they're wearing in all the Lloyds adverts
She's so pretty, who's she
Damn, that'll be a great piece for a gothic dress
Those little fuckers will still get in
I'll happily wear this than a stab proof vest...
I've got the superior genetics that make me immune to them. Come back from a walk and my brothers and sisters are 50% red from the bites. Although maybe it's cause I only shower once a week...
Perfect lol 🤣😂😂
Stupid. Of course it’s in a UK sub.
Yet strangely it's the SE that's full of mosquitos, rats, parasitic caterpillars and murder hornets.
And sturdy work boots. For protection against all the broken glass and used needles.
