You spoke my mind, I have been living in Aberdeen for 10 years, people here are cold and villagey
If you think people from Aberdeen aren't friendly, you must be including yourself as one of those people
@@BOSS-ji5qh sure haha ☺️
Wait, wait wait. The people are "cold, pretty racist, quite rude sometimes". All I can say to that is my partner is Polish and moved here 10yrs ago and she found us here in Aberdeen FAR more welcoming than in Poland and each of her Polish and central European friends who moved here ages and my own English friends have said much the same thing. Have you thought that it might have been you who's the issue?
@@teethgrinder83 I actually said from the beginning… its our experience. It may be different for others. However, we always prefer focusing on the positive side of things despite the bad situations that happened to us. I would just say… don’t take it personal because I am not generalising and I met some really nice people too from all over the world in this lovely city called Aberdeen 🏴
@@Hallfamily23I'm not taking it personally, I know I'm not that way and as I said my partner and I know plenty of people who think the complete opposite. I think my comment came across wrong-i was typing it more out of utter bemusement.
I'm guessing that was a typo when you said you weren't generalising because what you said there was pretty much a textbook definition of generalisation. I'm happy you did meet plenty of nice people here, I will say though that if you're going to make a vid saying those types of things expect some pushback (I want to make it clear though that those talking about how "your the reason we need independence" and other thinly veiled bigoted comments I don't agree with (despite being an independence voter-that has everything to do with Westminster though and not England).
I dunno I just don't think some of your points were thought through very well despite them being your own personal thoughts-i mean of course it's going to be freezing here, we live right next to the North Sea, the hills in town really aren't all that bad imo (I say that as someone who isn't allowed to drive because I have epilepsy and so walk quite a bit) and I addressed the comment about Aberdonians not being welcoming.
Anyway have a good weekend 👍
I grew up in/around Aberdeen and I will always love it - but I agree with pretty much everything you said
@@frazdunc aberdeen is beautiful and we think is very underrated in terms of its reputation across scotland and within the UK too 🏴
Bet you brought Aberdeen down a notch when you arrived.
I am Scottish and lived near Aberdeen for 30 years and agree with almost all of your commentts
@@janicemiller6864 its such a beautiful land but no place is perfect ❤️💗 glad to hear you agree with us 😊
Em where you have uphill you have downhill. Maybe you should go back to England where everyone is so friendly.
@@SteveCondron haha thanks for the advice but there are more positives than negatives here in Scotland, which makes it a good place for me to live at the moment 🤍🥰💖
Born in Glasgow. Brought up in Fyvie and Aberdeen in the North East. Got fed up waking up with my bed clothes frozen, kettle solid, brown icy slush covering all the roads everywhere - and that was in the summer!!! Nowhere and nobody in Scotland - especially Aberdeen - could provide me with the my next steps in life so I moved to London. I miss Scotland, but not the grey city by the grey sea. Sadly I agree with the almost all of this video. It could all be so very different. Insular arrogance and ignorance prevents what could be a great city - and its people - from being what it could be.... One last note. The only part of the UK not to embrace my successes in life and use this a bridge to get local people hired into major UK (and global) industries was Scotland. Really! I was never - not once - asked back as an external examiner, guest lecturer, consultant, etc. Consequently I hired people from Wales, Ireland and England, which did ask me.
Come on your being a wee bit hyperbolic talking about "freezing bed clothes" and your kettle being solid 😂
Man its a beautiful country. I am trying to find a way to relocate and live remaining life in scotland. For a non EU its almost impossible. Any suggestions are welcomed!
We agree is a stunning country! Many things to see if you are into nature. The easiest way would be with a study visa or sponsored work visa if you can find that the job you do is in demand here … its not easy these days but its worth it 🏴🌊🌿
You’re the reason that Scotland needs its independence from England.
@@scot-sequoia why is that?

Hahahahahaha too funny
Hi I think Scotland has a St Andrews cross as its flag
thanks for this info! I need to do some research on that 🏴😃😊
Independence now. Aberdeen oil capital but poor and the locals never benefitted at all. Independence now.
@@Oharadanny123abcdefg how would independence solve everything? Don’t you think it can go like brexit? Its hard to tell these days what can fix a country. I just want the best for Scotland as I think is a beautiful country 🏴
@@Hallfamily23 think every single person who lives in Scotland is the best group of people to decide what happens in Scotland. Scotland is a nation. Every single person who lives here, whether born and raised or more recent arrivals, can be part of Scotland and become part of the Scottish people. Together, we'd be better to run Scotland together. The alternative is to let posh boys who went to Eton Oxbridge etc in Westminster run us all. I hope you and your family find your place in Aberdeen and in this country. Welcome. And aw the best.
@@Oharadanny123abcdefg thanks for clarifying that and I am 100% with you! The problem is the government 😡
From Aberdeen. It is not hilly at all.
@@Zeequencha if you walk or you ride a bike it is believe me 😀 in a car you cannot feel it as much 😅
Start with the Scottish saltire not that brit flag rag and two maybe dinnae mimic oor accents otherwise have a great time big felly
I have lived in Aberdeen since 1986. Originally coming from north east England.
It has obviously changed a lot over the years multiculturalism is great. Back in the 80’s & 90’s, I experienced a lot of I would say hatred & racism because of where I was from which was unfortunate. Not so much these days.
As for the weather & isolation.. I have just got used to it after all this time 🙂
@@nh8383 nice to meet you! I am also from Manchester so it is always nice to hear from other English people living in Scotland 🏴 you are right … you get used to everything once you live for some years in this beautiful country ✨ hope you are enjoying the last days of summer 🌞
So everything that can't be changed then. The most pointless video ever.
@@me7690 its not everything, I suggest you watch the 5 things we love about aberdeen! Many good things about this beautiful city and country 🏴
