Massive City Dwelling for a Wee Country Boy
Huge City Residing for a Wee Country Boy
After dwelling out in the sticks, the land that point forgot or because the locals name it Beith for the perfect part of my life I decided I should chunk the bullet and make the move. So began the arduous activity of renting a flat in Glasgow.
I used to be probably not sure about the place I should look for a flat, I wanted someplace close sufficient to the life and soul of the town and I wanted to avoid the areas that make the Mad Max movies appear like something to hope for in the future.
Being a Rangers fan I used to be advised I may not be over eager on the East End of Glasgow, and in flip I used to be informed that I'd in all probability be about as welcome there as Neil Lennon at an Orange stroll so I struck that off my list.
Now the West end appeared more interesting, Kelvingrove park seemed good and it appeared quite a properly to do space when wanting about. Quite a excessive proportion of students though so I might have to commerce in my clothes for some skinny jeans, canvas plimsolls and Che Guevara T shirt but on the entire it seemed quite a good option.
Clearly there is a greater value of dwelling up in Glasgow but when you think about I pay about 200 a month to journey as much as work that might go towards my lease and it might work out a greater various to renting down in Ayrshire.
Residing up in Glasgow may additionally rule out the necessity of having a car, anyone down in Ayrshire will tell you how vital it's to have a car otherwise you are stuck there or should rely on the more and more poor but costly public transport system. So not solely would I be saving on travelling expenses also on the ever rising value of petrol and insurance and highway tax and MOT's and servicing etc. I would even mud of the previous bicycle as properly so we are able to add a healthier life-style to the financial benefits of shifting as much as the massive City.
Wanting back right here I am struggling to find a reason why I'd ever have contemplated dwelling in Ayrshire in the first place, its more expensive (as I've confirmed above), I need to contribute a far greater carbon footprint because of car use, I'd be much less wholesome and I haven't even went into the very fact of how strange and inbred the Ayrshirites appear to grow the deeper you sink into the community.
Its settled, I can be renting a flat in Glasgow and the earlier the higher!
