Glasgow comedian leaves TikTok in 'stitches' with 'posh folk during heatwave' video

The weather over the last couple of days has been pretty hot, with many of us having to sit in the shade for most of yesterday.

And today is set to be much the same with temperatures across the city rising even further - hitting nearly 30C.

It's become so hot that a petition has been launched calling for the introduction of a safe outdoor swimming area in Glasgow.

The petition was started by River Clyde Environment Group who organise litter picks along the Clyde. They also help report activities such as wildlife sightings and suspected pollution incidents, particularly in and around Glasgow city centre.

But whilst many of us try all we can to cool down, one Glasgow comedian has left TikTok in stitches as he showed what he thinks the 'posh folk' are doing in the heat. Taking to the video app, James Gardner - or @jamesycottar on TikTok - captioned his video "Posh folk with 'Glasgae' banter" and folk can't get enough of the accent.

In the video, pretending to talk to someone, he says: "Well the weather is absolutely glorious, isn't it? Yes - real 'tops off' weather.

"Well I am absolutely boiling. If it was any hotter, I'd be melting John. If it keeps up, they'll have to rename Glasgow 'Costa del Clyde'.

"Well I try to avoid going into the main park area of Kelvingrove - too many bams - the sun brings them all out, you see. Most of them don't even live in the west end. I feel like saying to them 'do you have your council tax bill there?'.

"Most of them probably don't even pay council tax. Yes they're all getting steaming up on the slop there. Yes, a 'swally'. Well it's the cheap alco pops, isn't it? That's what they're all drinking these days. The Smirnoff Ice and the Dragon Soop."

After watching the video it seems people were left with near tears watching the video with many trying to pin point the accent.

Taking to the comment section one said: "No it’s funnier when they say taps aff in their accent."

Another added: "West end? Sounds more like the Means" with James replying: "Aye that’s a Giffnock special I’m doing here."

"Glasgow Uni Accent!" wrote a third with another adding: "This is Bearsden written all over it."

A sixth could hardly speak adding: "Omg canny breath, needed a good laugh in this heat."
