Glasgow public talk about their New Years resolutions

When the new year approaches, people across the globe make resolutions to self-improve, get fitter or eat better.

Now, with 2023 upon us, we took to the streets of Glasgow to find out the public's resolutions for this year.

Kenneth Lamb, 76, from Maryhill, said: "I don't really do resolutions much, but this year, my resolution is to try and get out a lot more."

Douglas Gordon, 69, originally from Glasgow city centre, said: "I never usually do New Year's resolutions, I never make them.

"That way, I never need to worry about breaking them."

Noreen Duffy, 63, from Summerston, added: "I usually always try and set them, but by the end of January it's already downhill.

"This year, though, I want to hand in my resignation and retire, and I want to take a visit to see my parents at the cemetery.

"It's not too far, only in Lambhill, but it's just quite hard to get around as no cars can access the way I need to go. But I would like to get round to taking a visit this year."

Mr and Mrs Bourke, from Ireland, have very different goals for the new year.

Mrs Bourke said: "I haven't really thought about making any yet.

"But, if I was to think of one for this year, it will probably be to get fit."

Mr Bourke added: "Mines is to drink more Guinness and beer."

Ms Kate, 73, from Strathaven, said: "I want to swim more and get back into the sport. 

"I just want to get fitter and lose a few pounds." 

While June McIntosh, 42, from Royston, added: "I don't really bother with New Year's resolutions anymore. 

"I used to, but I think of it as an age thing.

"Now that I'm older, I don't really bother anymore."
