Excuse Me Wolf BUT the COP26 is in Glasgow.

wolf blitzer:
I’m now reporting from Edinburgh in Scotland where 20,000 world leaders and delegates have gathered for the COP26 Climate Summit. COP, by the way, stands for “Conference of the Parties.” It’s the 26th time they have gathered to discuss and take action on this critical issue.

But seriously, it pretty much is. I never appreciated just how tiny Britain is until my first visit there. I was bouncing around Glasgow doing god knows what (probably drinking), and my friends were like, "Let's go to this place in Edinburgh!" I was all cranky. "I'm not going halfway across the country at 9 at night!"

Yeah. It was like an hour away.

(the opticians' long-running series of ads is based around the slogan "Should Have Gone to Specsavers" ), after people have done ridiculous things because they couldn't see properly without glasses)
