      Possibly. But they all die in Glasgow.

        Indeed, it's hard to pinpoint an exact time of death in these cases, and we do have to use the Caledonian Sleeper service for something

                The Glasgow stereotype is long dead. Manchester outperforms my home city by a country mile. Außerdem, the foodie options have long improved. On my last visit I was kinda of surprised with the delights on offer.

                Want to live longer? Then avoid going to hospitals, people seem to die in them all the time.
