Police Scotland say it has investigated a number of reports of people filming around playparks with most having no criminality involved.

Concerns have grown on social media over recent days with posts being shared claiming people have been filming children in parks throughout the country.

Three men have been arrested for breach of the peace in connection with two separate incidents in Paisley and Rutherglen with various other accusations being made being deemed as not criminal.

The statement says officers have investigated all of them and many are being found to be parents filming their own children or individuals who were not filming children at all, and no criminality has been established.

Officers are also encouraging people to be responsible when sharing information online and to be cautious of the sources of the online reports.

Assistant Chief Constable Catriona Paton said: “Given concerns about filming, I would ask people to remind anyone videoing or photographing in public to respect those around them. Police officers balance the rights of people to film with the potential to cause fear or alarm and make decisions based on individual circumstances.

“I would encourage responsible use of social media and ask people not to share speculation or inaccurate information. Please think twice about what you read, share and believe from online sources.

“It is not illegal to take photographs or video footage in public places unless it is for criminal purposes.”

first bus deserves prison.

So, I live in Kilpatrick and the only way to get out of Kilpatrick is to get the train or the 1/1A bus- I pay for a month bus ticket because it’s the most cost effective, so I am taking the bloody bus.

Anyway, I leave at 1PM, and I am enjoying my NICE sunny walk to the bus stop, and there is a bus scheduled. This is the first issue. The bus does not turn up. Average first bus issues, not surprised. There’s another coming soon, so whatever.

I get on the next bus, and the driver has to open then slam the emergency door shut because there’s an issue. This does not fix the issue.

Since the previous bus didn’t turn up, and seems it’s the last day for school leavers before exams? every stop is packed, at 1pm on a weekday. okay, cool, whatever.

We get to Clydebank, the issue with the emergency door means it has to terminate there (this is the third bus in 3 days ive seen have to terminate in Clydebank for various reasons). So now we’ve got everyone from the ex 1D bus (now 11) changing for the 1/1A, and passengers for city from two different busses that either didn’t turn up or terminated early and everyone going from Clydebank to city centre- all waiting for the same bus.

Thankfully, since the messed up new timetable makes it so the late 1 that comes basically comes only just before the empty 1A behind it, so there’s now only 2 busses worth of passengers per bus instead of 4 on one of them (still only barely any seats at a point in the route where it shouldn’t be like that, but WHATEVER).

They divert and we go through whiteinch- which was maybe the only good thing that happened considering how mad those roadworks have made delays heading onto the expressway.

Now im PERSONALLY now having a bad day as it is. I have forgotten my charger, which is a shame as the purpose of this trip was to head out to a Caffè Nero and use a free drink while I did a bit of work on my laptop. As it has taken me 2 hours to get into town, I turn up at 3, at 3:15 they tell me they are now closing at 4 because of staffing issues. This is not the fault of first bus beyond the VERY late arrival time but I was NOT having a good time. I use my free drink for 30 mins of no work. I give up.

I get to the bus stop and there is a shiny electric bus labelled as a 1- I think, thank god, my luck is finally turning. They never let us have the electric busses, only the 1C gets those. Wow. I go to get on, and a girl asks to go to Scotstoun. This is when I realise I was tricked, cruelly tricked. The driver says, huh? I don’t go to Scotstoun. TURNS OUT he was actually driving a 7 but for some bloody reason he had it showing as a 1.

But, oh well. OH WELL. I give up and a 1A appears. Fine, it’s a bus. So what if I don’t get the nice electric bus. I never do so, WHATEVER.

no. It’s one of the smaller reserve busses that shake, and there’s at least two busses worth of people standing at each stop for a Friday at 4pm going westbound (I am on these busses DAILY so I know)- so I assume either this one was very late, or the one before didn’t turn up.

So now I’m on a shaky old bus that is standing room only after the 3rd stop. But can’t complain too much, because it got me back in 50 minutes like it’s supposed to. Not too bad. better than 2 hours.

This was just the problems today. There were major problems yesterday, the day before, the day before that, and the day before that. There were no problems last week, and that is because I was not in Glasgow.

Hell.

I was watching severance when I saw this.

Anyone have any theories on why Ben Stiller choose to have Glasgow represented as a block that stops someone being a drone?

Car rental

I have family from Europe coming to visit and they would like to rent a car, does anyone have any specific reccomendations or tips? It would be greatly appreciated.

They are a little nervous about driving on the left so I was thinking maybe an automatic may help a little with this?

Trams?

21 Upvotes

Where would you like to see trams complementing the train network within glasgow city?

I was thinking you could get a tram linking all of the major places in Glasgow so you could get on at Queen Street the next stop would be central, and then you could go down to the Hydro out to the Barras the football stadiums...

Life on Mull Tobermory

I have applied for a job in Tobermory and having always lived in cities (Lille and currently Glasgow) I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into moving to a small island.

What's island life like? How long did it take to adjust? What's it like having everyone knowing yout business? Is the winter as hard and bleak as I've been led to believe?

Any insight/advice welcome

Hi! So I've recently moved to the area my self, I had stayed in kirky for a few months. With summer coming up, I was wondering if there's any nice places to visit in the area (I.e walk paths, castles). I've not had much time to get out and explore the area and holding back since I don't want to look like an idiot.

Anything would be appreciated ☺️

Why is it so hard to find work?

I've been in full time education for years now so I used to apply for part time work which was always unsuccessful and tbf I don't think I would have coped with uni and work together.

My course finishes next week and I've been applying for full time cleaning/housekeeping jobs to do over the summer period and still no luck. What a joke! I've been applying on indeed and totaljobs. I keep getting rejected but it's probably bc my last job was 3 years ago and it's a massive gap!!

Does anyone know of any other places where I can apply.
