Kind of funny that you post a video from the UK During the middle of a pretty uncommon cold spell while the weather now is in the middle of a equally uncommon hot spell.
northeu yuuuup!
it was filmed months ago
I love when tourists come to Glasgow to visit. The city has so much more to offer, hope you come back to enjoy it more (maybe when the weather is better)
Strange watching this cos it's bloody roasting in Scotland just now
the coldest winter on record and now the hottest summer on record...something, something climate change etc......
To those outside the UK - roasting here means mid 20C's and a heat wave is when it reaches 30C lol. I love being British and don't have an issue with our weather here but let's face it, most countries would consider this weather as an ideal day to go out for an afternoon run.
this was filmed months ago
Huge Jobbie ... aye it is coz me n the troops are spit roasting yir da
The door that closes to the kitchen is a fire door. Fire regulations because you are on an upper floor.
That makes sense, I thought it was a panic room at first lol
I just this minute got back from Glasgow and it’s tropical weather there at the moment - so hot, and still daylight until nearly 11pm. Such a different place in the summer!
Jonathan Baldwin where you from ? Yeah sun sets after 10 end of june
Jonathan Baldwin not a warm June this year
My husband says I'm a combination of both of you. I speak really weirdly with unusual word choices. I also like trying weird food. "I like the thinness because the flavour has nowhere to hide." Classic, I love it.
Tunnocks of Glasgow, a great little company that make excellent confections.
Glasgow underground is the third oldest in the world after London and Budapest.
What you see is what you get, you've made your bed you'd better lie in it...
Think Glasgow is the best city on the planet , very cozy when it snows & people (most) are friendly! So all in all a good place to be!
Glasgow is friendly as fuck, the only place where the person who stabbed ye will then give ye directions to the hospital.
I agree , best city . Sometimes described as warm acid .
RIP kyde
Life Liver,
Adventure,
Your smile will be missed as will the joy you bring ?
The cone on the wellington statue used to be pranksters, the council kept taking it down until eventually they stopped as people just kept putting it back on, realising it was more dangerous to keep "inviting" people to climb up and stick the cone back on. People take the piss here though, was walking past it to work last week and there was 9 cones on. The horse also had a cone to make it look like a unicorn, which by the way is the national animal of Scotland. Hope the weather didn't put you off Glasgow too much, we loving getting visitors.
Haha, love the cone!
Your tombstone would have to talk about your sense of humour! Just love your enthusiasm and curiosity. You certainly don't let the grass grow under your feet!! Can't wait for the next episode. You are such a fun couple and I'm so enjoying following your lives.
The UK has quite a northerly position and Glasgow sits almost on the 56th parallel, but winters are generally not too severe thanks to the gulf Stream.
The beast from the east was a rare thing, lol
worst snowy winter for decades. now its the best / hottest summer for decades a few months later. :) 2018 in Scotland has been crazy
In Britain, flats generally have to the kitchen isolated for fire safety reasons. hence the heavy door
Makes sense!
I'm not complety cogniscent on the latest fire regulations , but most flatd have to have a sealed hallway from the bedrooms to the front door. None of this opening straight into an open plan living space in US apartments. But some newer apartments do this, so I assume they have other fire safety features that means those regs don't apply. I do know you more than two storeys in a house, no room should be open to the staircase and all doors should be fire doors.
When we had that big snow storm in Kyoto I was amazed that the trains were still running, although around 20 minutes behind schedule.
It is a fire door with a closure device. It is compulsury in rented buildings.
Yep, kitchens are considered high risk fire areas. If you notice, when the door is open there is a dark strip down the centre of the door. This expands when it gets hot and forms a seal, preventing smoke and the spread of fire to the rest of the building.
It's like it all through the UK when it snows. Everything grinds to a halt and the authorities are surprised. Same when it's particularly warm, wet or windy or, famously, when the leaves fall on the track.
Only the "wrong" kind of leaves though ;).
to be fair its not worth putting money into infrastructure for snow when this kind of weather is very unusual for UK.
the kitchen door is a fire door, its point is to close itself , if there is a fire in the kitchen it will hopefully hold back the fire longer
I'm watching this after all those years and the plastic bag stunt at the palm house was just GOLD!
haha i don't even recall that stunt -e
I don't know about Kyde's tombstone but Spike Milligan (a British comedian) said he wanted 'I told you I was ill' on his. When he died his family tried to have that done but the cemetery wouldn't allow it. So they translated the phrase to Gaelic, as the cemetery didn't know what it said now, it was allowed
Haha
sounds like Eric may be into wagon wheels if he prefers less air in his teacakes.
Me irl
wagon wheels are awesome

Hi guys, I'm Glaswegian and I keep coming back to this video, and showing my friends, as its sooooo strange seeing you review our city. I've been to Japan and follow you guys. The beast from the east was great fun, we totally aren't used to weather like that. I got days off work ;) The circle subway was the only transport for me, going one way. Also bread meats bread has moved to a bigger place!
Also, the cone on the statue started as a prank. The council got sick of dealing with it so it became a landmark. Few years ago someone managed to get 16 cones on
Idea. Put a QR code on your headstone that will link to this channel.
(In 60 years, obviously.)
Never seen Glasgow's botanical garden. Did get to see Berlin's. Worth it!
Worth it if you're into metal and glass structures, too. The greenhouses are spectacular enough themselves.
The late, great Spike Milligan has on his tombstone a quote
"I told you I was ill"
My favorite thing is Eric in a mirror. Makes me laugh every time.
I'm always delighted to see I have that shot, haha.
Scotland is funny. March was crazy blizzard sideway snow weather, last week was heat waves and humidity.
That plant with the folding up leaves is called a 'Sensitive Plant' Botanical name is 'Mimosa Pudica' They have thorns, grow purple fluffy flowers and produce seeds in pods that you can dry out and sow the following year. As a child, between 8-10 years old I used to grow loads of these plants in our green house and sell them to neighbours for 10 shillings (50 pence) to make more pocket money.
I’ve also heard them called “ticklish” plants
It’s a plant’s way of trying to discourage insects from eating their leaves (a main issue for a plant)
yo! The kitchen space is a major source of 'fires' and the door is a 'Fire-rated' self closing door designed to isolate a fire in that room and enable you to safely escape, especially if there is only one exit from the apartment and/or the kitchen opens on to that exit route.
The kitchen door in the Glasgow flat is a fire door,its to stop a fire spreading giving you time to evacuate the flat.most house fires start in a kitchen.
Very friendly locals and great pubs went on a field trip whilst at college in London, Went to Hampden park to watch Argentina beat Scotland with a young Maradona dominating the game.
One of the reasons your bathroom was cold is that you smothered the radiator with the large bath towel, insulating the radiator and stopping the heat getting into the bathroom. Only completely cover the radiator if your towel is soaking wet - otherwise just hook it over one side of the radiator, leaving the rest of the radiator free to heat the room.
Yea, we tried that too. Didn't work. Haha -E
Thumbs up for the Gwar t-shirt alone.
Ive lived in Glasgow 49 years and you's found out more about Glasgow than I have in 49 years 😀🤔
Hahaha
Thats what happens in winter, everyone buys 6 jugs of milk & all the bread. They keep the traffic cone on the statue now. It's part of Glasgow & you will see it in our souvenir postcards etc 😊
We got tea cakes in Canada, they're called whippets and as a child, the thing to do before eating them was to crush the marshmallow on your forehead with one swift blow. Really unsophisticated stuff around here lol
Xavier Paquin YES!
Preparing to go to Glasgow for the first time in a few weeks, thanks for this guys!
Enjoy! -E
Dudes I loved that haggis, I miss it now that I'm back in the States.
😍❤🌸🌹
They complement each other so well.
Irn-Bru is made in Glasgow (cumbernauld now tho, which is a new town just outside glasgow)
but EVERYBODY in scotland drinks it.
the colour is meant to be rust.
the reason a lot of adults drink it is it's the best hangover cure on earth :)
You should also try Tunnock's Caramel Wafers similar to the Caramel Log but far better. Milk chocolate on the outside with layers of caramel and wafer in between.
Hahahahahahaha!!!! The vegan Capital!!!! I think that's because Glasgow It's renowned for it's inhabitants never eating vegetables (apart from the potato in various fried guises)
Instead of a BLT, you just ask for a 'B'?
bluewolf -- the only thing you can eat in scotland is the mars bar, right?!
Why is the cathedral so dirty? Well it has been standing there for nearly 900 years. It probably picked up most of that during the Victorian era when Glasgow, like everywhere, was thick with smoke and smog from all the industry and residential chimneys. During the 80's and 90's it was the thing to sandblast our sandstone buildings to remove this and get that shiny clean. The trouble was they found out later that that process did a lot of damage to the stone work which made it vulnerable to the elements. A big regret. Thank goodness they didn't do this to the cathedral!
What I love about you guys is that you are so non judgemental on your travels. You respect, appreciate and enjoy all types of different cultures on your journeys. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thanks so much! Glad we aren't jerks! Haha. -E
This is an original travel video. Not many from abroad would think to travel to Scotland in February. For that exact reason , you are giving us a feeling of what it is like to be a local in winter in Glasgow. Well done.
Can I ask why you two are bundled up inside of buildings ? Are they conserving heat ?
I guess we just weren't warm, I don't remember. -E
HILARIOUS that you feel you need to explain how a radiator and a boiler works - wow ha ha ha
People outside of Europe don't have the same type of heating systems. You might find my heating unit here in Japan interesting, for instance. -Eric
Kyde and Eric Fair... so as a European I find it hilarious 😅
I just stumbled across your channel.
I'm a bartender at the Ubiquitous Chip. The bell is just for the kitchen to let the staff know that food is ready to be taken out.
And the traffic cone on the statue isn't an "Official" thing. Drunk people kept putting them up there on the weekends and it became a bit of a landmark.
Hey guys I used to live just a bit from your flat.You are very close by Glasgow's 2 largest park's Pollok and Lynn both excellent places to visit with interesting historical architecture.
FYI, the heavy door for the kitchen is because it's a fire door. It's a building regulation that, for the kitchen to be where it is in the middle of the building, it requires a self-closing fire retardant door, which is why it's so heavy too.
The potato scone. As it maybe named in Scotland. In England we call it the potato cake. Simple ingredients of potato and flour and butter .normally buttered.
Completely agree with you regarding the bathrooms towel heater, can burn your skin off, but can't heat a room.
You can make potato scones, just boil some potatos, mash them not too creamy, add butter and flour, no milk or anything, mix it until you can roll it and then fry it in a pan.
Take the towels off the heating thing to get a bit more warmth, also running the top tap into the bath might help, you are creating a radiator effectively, also with more moisture in the air you will feel warmer as it makes it harder to perspire.
Definitely try the sheep haggis as in my opinion tastes better. Great video as usual!
I've an idea for Kyde's tombstone: "Here lies Kyde: She heard the grass"
We're visiting family this month in Glasgow and used this video for things to do. Apparently this month we had a heat wave lol.
Hope you enjoy, it'll be different than when we were there! -E
25:35 Eric, it's too cold outside for milkshakes. You'll freeze all the boys in the yard!
The boys are important
You should try Wagon Wheels which is like a bigger flat tea cake !
The UK is temperate, we only get snow usually every 2-4 years and usually it either doesn't stick, or it is gone in a day or so.
hence why theres no investment in snow plows etc, it would be a big waste of money overall
Indeed, but they could grit more of the roads and look into the other travel networks better.
Scotland and northern England get it every year somewhere,though nowhere near as much as in the past.
Did Charles Dickens have snow imported to set the mood in A Christmas Carol???
@John Doe - the higher areas of the British Isles tend to get snow every year as Mike has mentioned; this is less than 5% of the UK. Scotland, being the northern most country of the UK is more likely to get snow, Wales is also more likely than England to get snow. England is the most densely populated and so is a few degrees warmer around the towns and cities and so snow does not last as long.
she was an amazing wife and mentor and youtuber , she connected with so many people and when she left that person they felt as though she left them behind a piece of something special , no matter what part of the world she was in we all felt as though we was there with her , she inspired us so much and a piece of her enthusiasm and love will always be with us and her loving husband, we are like their children, and she has taught us well ❤💎

The pull cord in the bathroom is because of the very tough electrical safety regulations in the UK. The fear is someone with wet hands might get electrocuted if they touched a normal wall switch. In my house we have switches for the bathroom lights but these are on the outside of the room! You may also think our electrical plugs and sockets are a bit over engineered, but again it’s all for safety. Tom Scott has a great video explaining this th-cam.com/video/UEfP1OKKz_Q/w-d-xo.html
The kitchen door with automatic closure is because it’s a rental property and has to comply with additional fire safety regs. It’s all about keeping our lovely visitors safe!
I've been electrocuted with a wet light switch n wet hands it is horrible but you can pull your hand off the switch slowly n I'm still here to tell the tale
For David Elder he is famous for Marine Engineering ...The building of Modern Art was originally a Townhouse of a Tobacco Lord, it was also a city library before it was transformed into the Galley of Modern Art.
Never seen a machine like that in Glasgow. Interesting , I need to get on that central station tour
In Canada we wouldn't even have noticed such a minuscule amount of snow. And I live in southern Ont.
Yea, but you probably have the infrastructure to properly deal with it. -E
yes we pay people to pile it at the ends of our drive ways.
I'm from Glasgow I wish I had known we could have met up.
We are currently in a heatwave.
Daniel Euan Henderson You would of scared him off for good ya wee creep!
Its him..... Noway
It was only 30 m8 chill🤣
It was 33 one of the days, which in Glasgow is unbelievable
Daniel Euan Henderson wis jst abt to comment tht man where abts u stay
26:20 We call those moriviví here in Puerto Rico. They're fun little plants.
Cool vid, thanks for visiting. The Beast from the East was pretty exceptional and there were 17 fatalities in UK alone, nevermind across whole of Europe. It wasn't totally normal for the trains to be off that long, there was a red alert on the country warning people not to travel. There was very limited services.
Remember also that Scotland has nothing between it and the arctic winds, this is what makes the Scottish mountains so dangerous(even though not very tall by int standards). the ice cold winds freezing everything up can be far more of a problem than some snow.
Basically you came at worst time but glad you still enjoyed it.
It was actually the break we needed, so it worked out. Plus it was neat to see Glasgow I unique situations
Aww man how can you not love Irn Bru? The stuff is nectar
I used to love it before they reduced the sugar and added sweeteners thanks to the the sugar tax. Now it just tastes like a weak imitation.
Awesome video! I'm Scottish and find it really interesting to see a different perspective on Glasgow, and to see you trying food and drinks that I've known all my life. Most non-Scottish people seem to dislike Irn Bru, I think it must be an acquired taste! You've got yourself a new subscriber, looking forward to seeing your other Scottish videos, especially if you went to Inverness or the Isle of Skye!
An Isle of Skye video will be coming in a couple weeks!
Excellent, I'll look forward to it! I grew up there, will be interesting to see what you got up to there and what you think of it!
You stayed in the same area, Langside, as I did! I came in July during the heatwave which was greatly appreciated, I don't know why that's interesting to be- serendipitous! But glad you enjoyed it anyway :-)
Those fish have absolutely no idea where they are or that its snowing outside, they don't even know they're inside, they're just busy being fish
Kyde, you are a food warrior. No way could I try haggis!
Have you tried the Wagon wheels, this is sort of what you would get by crushing the tea cakes, and there is more biscuit on the bottom.
Love your videos. You are such a likeable and interesting couple. It's nice that you spend so much time in each place and get see things that tourists would never get to see.
Thanks so much!
Just put a link to your TH-cam channel on your Tombstone 🤔👍
It's beautiful ,go on ,you are doing wonderful
That kitchen door is a fire door. That is why it has a self closing mechanism.
The door is a fire door, it takes longer to burn than normal doors so contains any kitchen fire longer for fire fighters to arrive, probably some sort of regulation... the heater in the bathroom I'm pretty sure is a towel warmer lol
Yea, we know it's just a towel warmer. Why isn't there a normal warmer of some sort, hahahaha.
Nice area I was brought up 500 yards from your flat and my dad was an engineer in the factory opposite. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Maybe the word you were looking for, Kyde, is saturation. Cannot absorb anymore. Your videos are a pleasure to watch!
Glad you dig them! -E
Heavy Kitchen door is a fire door, required by law in rental properties. Means if there's a fire that starts in the kitchen it won't spread to rest of the apartment / the other apartments in the building
Love a potato scone, I would have it in a roll with black pudding for breakfast
Lol, the deep fried Mars Bar is for tourists. I've never met a single Scot that's had one.
You guys are missing out.
lies, their the shit! no need for the sugar though.
Bluewolfe96, is that the wee chippy under the bridge, across fae where the Schipka Pass used tae be?
I've had deep fried mars bars and I love them. I'd also highly recommend deep fried creme eggs but be warned of the molten fondant bursting out and scalding your hand.
How could you not like Irn Bru? How dare you!!!!
they put sweeteners in it...
Irn Bru rocks
It's better ice cold from a can. From the majority of videos most from the US seem confused as they clearly expect an orange tasting drink, but anything is better than Fanta ;P More seem to like than dislike though. The teacakes shown have clearly shrunk over the years judging by this video.
David Elder was a big industrialist and philanthropist, Govan, he had an hospital and a park named after him.
That door to the kitchen is a fire door ha
The best ever I-phone photo I ever got was from Glasgow Central. Cost about $150 to get it customed framed, but well worth it. :-) Beautiful train station.
I'm with you on the Irn Bru thing. They used to have an advertising slogan for it when it first came out "Made in Scotland from girders" Quite accurate because it does taste like a mouthful of iron filings
Hahaha
How did the girls even get stuck on the wall at the end that they needed help getting down?!
Hahahahaha, no idea.
Your kitchen door is a fire door. That's why it's so heavy. It's designed to isolate a fire in the kitchen so that it doesn't spread to the rest of the building.
The guy wae the beard doing the tour is Paul Lyons. A right good guy.
He was amazing!!
Hi Kyde and Eric, If in Scotland and someone ask's you did you fall the answer is "No I was trying to Brake a bar off chocolate in my back pocket" quote from Billy Connolly ans that wasn't snow when the snow is up to a Car mirror then you know it's snowing in Scotland .
Pudding doesn't mean dessert. It's a method of cooking something inside something else. There are both savoury and sweet pudings. Haggis and sausages are puddings as is creme caramel.
Irn Bru is from Parkhead Glasgow but yes it is sold all over the world just like whiskey the Parkhead facility is now closed. Irn Bru is great for a hang over or with vodka.
I think I have noted a pattern when Kyde is tasting something and formulating her description. If she likes it, the eyes are up and to her right, but when she doesn't, her eyes are up and to her left. I don't know if this pattern holds as I have only seen about 30 vids.
Hahhaha, I'd like to see some science on this! You might be on to something. -E
I used to stay in mount Florida I take it your local store was Barry's convenience store.
Going to Scotland in 2 weeks, so I was waiting eagerly for this episode!!
Enjoy!
You two make me laugh out loud, I’m having a lot of fun catching up on your visit to Scotland. Menu translation..... ! Lol
Hi guys. I just stumbled across your channel today. As a proud Scot, I really enjoyed this video as you give straight from the heart honest reviews. I am now going to watch the rest of your Scottish vlogs and can't wait for you to sample the gorgeous West Coast of Scotland. Take care, Martin. 🏴
Thanks Martin, glad you found us and enjoyed. We have quite a bit of footage from our visit to Scotland, hope you enjoy it. -E
@@kydeanderic Going to work my way through them over next few days.
Stay safe.
Mirrors are green~ I don't remember the exact explanation but if you've ever walked into a room with a large mirror in front of you and behind you, you can see the green toward the edges.
