Was most surprised to read this -although all large cities do have their depressed areas.

I have only ever travelled through Glasgow Station (very pleasant) on my way to get the ferry to Belfast, so i don't know the place at all. However, with it having been a European City of Culture, being reknowned for it's art galleries and music festivals and of course it's architecture and in particular the connection to Charles Rennie MacIntosh, I thought it's image had changed.

Is there not a proposal to switch away from GMT to daylight saving time or something similar which would benefit Scotland?
