Whisky, deep fried mars bars and lasses with lovely accents
These are some things which make Fife great. What doesn't make it great, however, is Glenrothes.

These are some of the highlights:

(The photographer here has been very clever here because he has taken this photo on the one day of the year when the sun actually shines and so it looks 99.71% less shit than it would usually.)

There are a couple of redeeming feature of the town, mind:

It appears that Fife towns have been featured quite a lot in this QOTW; for some reason, Fife Council deigned to build a job-lot of shit-holes in the 60s and 70s, seemingly unaware that grey concrete + grey skies = heroin addiction + heart disease + suicide. Och, well, gotta love 'em.

That reminds me
I once knew a girl from Glenrothes....






That's it. I really knew a girl from Glenrothes. I spent a term at St. Andrews Uni. You're right, the accent is fabulous - a group of gals chatting sounds like birds singing.

Glenrotten
I grew up hating that place, then all my friends moved there because it was cheap.

I wouldn't mind, but they could have at least finished building the place first. It's just a series of roundabouts linking half-empty industrial estates.

I once found a full spider-man costume in the middle of the road at the bus station one night.

I dread to think
what the spiderman costume was full of.

And you're right about Glenrothes' layout - it's like something you would make if you had $120 to spend in Sim City.

Medical terminology
Back in the days when doctors could scrawl amusing notes about patients NFF meant "normal for Fife". Tells you something.

But you did remember to leave,
I trust?
