Sorry, I meant the free Republic of Glasgow...

You mean the Independent People's Republic of Glasgow and North Lanarkshire ?

Luckily that never happened.

why?

Finally! This is long long overdue.

Maybe now I can go and get my display replaced without having to go to Glasgow.

So, at the risk of being caught up in the madness of it all and also using it as an excuse to spend some money on shiny things I don't really need.... If the store opens at 10am, any idea how early I should aim to get there if I'm hoping to get a t-shirt?

Is it not just the first 1000 customers i.e. people who actually buy things? If so, I would just go at 10am since you would need to get in the queue at the till anyway unless there is some crazy queue just to get into the store.

I guess I'm wondering what are the chances of there being a crazy queue to get in to the store? Much less given there's stores in Glasgow and Aberdeen already so maybe turning up at 10 is going to be fine.

Don't bother unless you are a candidate for The Biggest Loser. I got a shirt from each of the Regent St and Brent Cross openings. Both still unopened. Both XL. Reminds me I need to chuck those out if I ever find them.
