So here we are at the start of 2019 and let’s start off by acknowledging the likelihood that many of us will have over done it over the festive period and now at the beginning of January...thinking about a few New Years Resolutions to help us recover from the excesses (whether they be food, drink [...]
So here we are Christmas Eve and most of us looking forward to the food, drink, presents and festivities over the next few days! It doesn’t look like it’s going to be a white Christmas across Strathclyde with weather expected to be around 7-8 degrees and a chance of rain. So driving conditions won’t be [...]
Well, it’s pretty hard to avoid the talk of Brexit lately, it remains a hot topic and will no doubt be the cause of more than a few crossed words over the turkey this year. So much is still speculation and unknown. With every news headline on political turmoil it seems more and more likely [...]
There is a lot of talk in the media about the future of car ownership, with many experts predicting that car ownership rates will decline in the future as electric, driverless cars take over, a bit like in Total Recall. Whilst it’s certainly possible that this may happen in our lifetimes, car ownership rates remain [...]
At Strathclyde Windscreens, we see our fair share of windscreen cracks and chips that frankly, could have been avoided.

We are dedicated to making sure that customers are kept informed with the relevant information and so last week we wrote a blog containing common misconceptions and myths that we [...]
There are a lot of misconceptions around about windscreens damage. Strathclyde Windscreens have been working in the trade for over 20 years so we have heard it all. Some myths are simply based on old information that is no longer true of modern autoglass but more often than not, it is simply misinformation that has [...]
Here at Strathclyde we love Guy Fawkes night but it seems that this year, things were more rowdy than usual. With the news reports the next day going so far as to describe a “war zone”. There were incidents reported in the media across Edinburgh and West Lothian, police and fire officers attacked with fireworks [...]
This time of year, you’ll hear a lot of Scots boasting about how we invented Halloween and interestingly, they’re mostly right but the traditions also existed in Ireland, Wales and across parts of England too.
