"And tha statue is tekken the absholoot pesh"
00:43 couldnt they get any locals who speak english?
I’ve lived in Glasgow for 15 years. Successive curators of the Gallery of Modern Art behind the statue have had varying opinions on the cone. Personally, I think a traditional equestrian statue with a traffic cone on its head is exactly what you want outside your modern art gallery.
agreed!
Fantastic!
I could listen to Glaswegians talk about anything really.
To me the best part is that it's in front of the Gallery of Modern Art.
That's hilarious, and I appreciate the insight from the locals and visitors.
That is so cool.
I was puzzled when you said the council tried to hire that statue. Worked out that you said higher the statue and that you meant raise.
Love seeing videos like this.
I've called Glasgow home since 2015 and the city is a great place with so many wonderful things in it
There’s a statue in Exeter that suffered a similar fate ( there was always one on it!) in Kingston, there’s even a statue that’s of a sheep that actually has a bronze traffic cone on its head as part of the statue 😆
Do it to a statute of a Scottish hero.
The OG of statue cones.
Good on you, Glaswegians!
Excellent!
There have been cones on other heads around Scotland. But come on, you councils, it's nothing like what the pigeons do to these gents.
The cone has been put up there for so long now, the statue looks odd if the cone is ever missing.
I love this! So good! Oh gosh! The one on the horse too 🤣 I love it!
Love hearing the history from you and the insight from locals ❤
The accent of the first guy... WOW
This is just brilliant
I have to admit, I got excited when I first learned about it !
@@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard And this is "Ghasgo"
They do the same thing with Queen Victoria's statue in Hastings. 🤣😂
i have put the cone on his heid a few times way back wen i could climb or get a hauny up there to do it,,,😇😁
"Major Lennox was a damn fine officer."
“MAJOR LENNOX ANSWERED WITH HIS LIFE!, AS YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE IF YOU HAD ANY SENSE OF HONOUR!!”
@@theghostofsabertache9049 Well, that's soldiering.
brilliant
I was up there on Saturday. The cone is now painted black.
I think it might be an ever-changing entity !
@@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard Im sure it was painted gold during the Olympics . I stay in the middle between Glasgow and Edinburgh , visit the cities a few times each year. Great to see the Glasgow cone still up.
I’ve also seen a cone on a statues head in Edinburgh. (The one in a sort of gazebo next to the train station)
Is it a Scottish tradition now?
it's been on his head since the 70s or 80s, it was there when I initially saw it last around 2004
Love it 😂😂
£100 to take it down? what a load of bullshit, I would happily take it down for £25, all I would need is a long stick and a sharp poke.
Nothing wrong with that.
I wear one all the time!
Its me magic harry potter hat gov!
This happens a lot in Leeds too.
check owt cardiff (the hayes) john bachelor statue with beer bottle in hand....
Best city in the world bar none
Proud Glaswegian 🏴⚒
