GillT57, is she a wee (bacchle) fat woman, with red hair and a very loud voice? Then it was probably based on me!

She is one of a group of wifeys

Give it a rest Urmostongran, you have made your point. No city anywhere in the world can accomodate this huge influx of people with the associated security, press and hangers on and mooring a cruise ship off a dock in the centre of it all seems like a very sensible solution, there are plenty of empty cruise ships around at the moment.

I think you may require some body armour Urms, rather than a tin hat, ?

I think someone in this thread requires a tinfoil hat.

There are plenty of Glaswegians offering accommodation in their own homes to delegates, Urmstongran, so you don't need to worry about all of them having to stay on a cruise ship and can give your wooden spoon a rest.

It's been made quite clear from the start that the Westminster government was going to run the show, and that the Scottish government should stay out of it. We all know how capable the Westminster lot are at producing world-beating rabbits from their hats, so why worry?

Anyway, let's just wait and see, shall we?

*Glasweegran*, I love your user name!

off topic but; I am reading Shuggie Bain at the moment, and there is a character called Marydoll in it. As you were

Actually maybe Westminster ‘chose’ Glasgow on purpose? Or is that too deep?
Actually I’m not sure how Glasgow was chosen to host. Did they want it?
Maybe they thought it would be good or tourism & money coming in. I’ve no idea.

.converted to run on used cooking oil.

Oh no, the filters will be blocked in no time .......

Perhaps Westminster could advise? They are so good at everything, surely they must have succeeded in getting rid of every last one of their rats, removing every scrap of rubbish from their streets, etc etc.

Do I hear derisive laughter?

Pure dead brilliant marydoll

Tents on Glasgow green perhaps? Coorie in folks and watch. You might get a surprise.

Not a good idea. It's so close to the river, it could be overrun with the aforementioned rats ??????? ?

The Telegraph is prominent.

Actually, it was the Scotsman.

"The UK is running its Cop26 presidency from within the Cabinet Office, under the leadership of the former business secretary Alok Sharma, who is the Cop26 president, and the businessman Nigel Topping who was appointed the government’s high-level climate action champion last year. "
rdian.com/environment/2021/ so any humiliation has been caused by Westminster.

Well it wasn’t the Scotsman or the Herald! ???????

Elegran

How about sending all the bigwigs to Southend? It has just been granted city status and has lots of accommodation in caravan parks and holiday lets, most probably empty at this time of year.

No caravan parks in Southend-on-Sea, has got two very nice hotels.
Unfortunately the City of Southend is in mourning for Sir David Amess who was brutally murdered less than a week ago whilst carrying out his duty meeting constituents.

Elegran no idea what you were thinking in this post (if you were thinking at all)

Could you post a note of the source for all the detail, Urmstonegran? I'd be interested in which journalist/newspaper/lobbyist the raw material has been filtered through.

You thinking this is a summit to promote clean energy....you couldn't make it up.

Maybe they should all stay in tents? With open fires to cook on? Oh no, air pollution....

Technically, it is Glasgow City Council, who would negotiating with the union to get the binmen not to strike.
Thank goodness my DH is long retired, as he would have been heavily involved in negotiations!

But ... A cruise ship arrives to help deal with accommodation problems at a summit to promote clean energy - you couldn’t make it up.

Urmstongran

I think I’d be pre-judging if I lived there Glasweegran just looking at the rubbish piling in the streets. And thinking of rats. I wonder if NS can get the bin drivers back to work next week?

Gosh, I hope not. I wouldn't want the national government meddling in local authority matters.
