MY I-ON GLASGOW | 17
Is there anything that would place Glasgow more firmly on the map? Hope... and being run by people who truly want to make this city better for the poorest and most disadvantaged.
Where in or around the city do you go for a quick escape?
A walk with the dog around Strathclyde Park.
Where do you go for the best view of the city? The Necropolis or Park Circus.
If you could change one thing about the city… The level of mad drinking that goes on.
The city’s downfall? Poverty and disadvantage; we have a huge population full of talent and enthusiasm that is totally underused.
Describe a great night out in Glasgow. A good meal with good pals.
AROUND THE CITY WHERE YOU’LL FIND ME:
Dining out: Urban Grill, Cafe Gandolfi or Gandolfi Fish.
Enjoying a coffee: My local cafe Rustica in Mount Vernon or Moyra Jayne’s in the South Side. Lunch with friends: Princes Square or Cafe Gandolfi.
Doing business: Cafe Gandolfi, as Seamus who owns it is great and I tend to have as many meetings as I can there. The food is great, it’s better than being in our office here at home and it’s cheaper than renting another office.
Living it up: I am too well kent a face to go out clubbing, so I tend to party in my own house or at friends’ homes, complete with karaoke, pals and family.
Having my haircut: My two sisters own a great hairdressing salon so I always go there – The Workshop in Airdrie.
For a pamper session: Lisa Radcliffe is the Beauty Godmother. I started going to her at Oshi Spa and now she visits me at home.
The shop you’ll always find me in: Marks & Spencer or Tesco - I always seem to be shopping there to fill the fridge.
