What's the difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh?

Being posh in
Edinburgh means you have one of those fancy tile roofs.
Being posh in Glasgow
means you have a roof.

Every country, state or even city has its rivalries.  I live halfway 
between
Ann Arbor and East Lansing and am more than aware of the Michigan - 
Michigan
State loyalties.

But the best story is when I was in medical school in
Edinburgh, 
Scotland. I
was in a physiology lecture when the lecturer
pointed out that, due to 
its
poor diet and lack of sunlight, Glasgow had
"the highest incidence of
rickets in the civilized world".  To which a joker
behind me shouted 
out,
"Since when has Glasgow ever been in the civilized
world?"
