Comment on Anon's strict mom
Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 4 days agoDo you live in Scotland? I only ask because it’s a perfect description of Edinburgh buses. And there are an inexplicably large number of Finnish people in Edinburgh. Or were 15 to 20 years ago. Also there was a multiple stabbing at one of the places I lived there, and my next door neighbour had killed 3 people by cutting their throats. (Not a nice part of Edinburgh tbh, but by no means the worst)

All Scots are southerners to me.
But the cities are larger a bit. Glasgow is 3x the population of my city and only 50k people short from being as large as our capital.
Alcoholism and winter and people not taking their vitamin D.
Kevin Bridges has an excellent bit on Glasgow and the very things we’re talking about. :D
Except Finns lack the friendly part

I wouldn’t say I qualify as a southerner. I live further north than Inari.

Would you mind sharing where that would be?
Northernmost point – Out Stack (Oosta), Shetland at 60°51′N 0°52′W
en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Extreme_points_of_Scotland
Inari is 68°.
Idk where you’re getting those 8 degrees from? So where’d you live?
Those extreme points are the same for the whole of UK and for British Overseas Territories and Crown dependencies is on the Isle of Man.
By the data I can find, I live further north than any UK territory. I understand I can be wrong.
So… please elaborate.

Yeah, I moved away from Scotland almost 2 decades ago. I live in Northern Norway.
