Remember it's also Ramadan so if the English are noising up the locals before sunset they're going to get a stronger reaction back. Hunger can make people quite irritable... I feel more intimidated in Glasgow than in Marseille to be honest. When have you felt intimidated in Glasgow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Paris, Marseille has some lovely areas where you can sit with a drink outside and think life is good. But like Paris, Marseille has some horrendously run-down immigrant areas where any non-local would be absolutely mad to set foot in. There a some shitey bits of Glasgow, but absolutely nowhere that compares to Marseille or Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a some shitey bits of Glasgow, but absolutely nowhere that compares to Marseille or Paris. Marseille I don't know well enough. But there's absolutely nowhere I wouldn't go in Paris. No ghettos at all in the city of Paris (despite what the media might feed you). Greater Glasgow is a comparable size to Paris and there are many places I wouldnt go. The suburbs are a different story but that's not Paris Anyway, the main point was that Marseille isn't as bad as people would have you believe. And the English hoolies are just ignorant c##ts.

Really, absolutely nowhere? Like any big big city like New York, London or Paris I would think you could say there are areas you would not go (and feel safe which is the point).

I'm talking about the city of Paris itself, which is quite a well defined area, comparable in size to glasgow. Within that area there's nowhere I don't feel safe. The suburbs are another story (those aren't paris though, think lanarkshire) but who would ever go there anyway? Some might say I moved the goalposts slightly...

thplinth Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 No one anywhere in the world would compare Glasgow and Paris as similar in size whelk. You need to compare apples with apples.

It's simply impossible to compare Glasgow and Paris in this way. Glasgow has some dodgy areas with a few nutjobs kicking around, but there's nowhere in the city...or Scotland for that matter....that could be called 'intimidating' in the way that Paris or Marseille are. The banlieue of Paris are often pretty awful places. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5128/france-no-go-zones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 As an aside when we went during France 98 with Ian Sharp's Euroscot he had booked the full bus into an Ibis Motel in the Paris-Nord area not far from St Denis. It was 30 minutes on the train from where we were to the centre of Paris and about £30 in a taxi Probably the same distance from Hamilton to Glasgow Almost everyone had a similar story with Taxi drivers getting home from the Pigalle (cough) to where we were staying. When negotiating with the Taxi drivers all of them laughed when we told them where we were based and in their best pigeon English said "Yer no fooking staying there FFS - its mental" The area had and still has one if not the biggest crime rate in the whole of France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
