To be honest its squint, has camera shake (not surprising given your choice of ISO) but most importantly there is no focal point. Sorry.

dont you mean "squinty" ken? I miss Glasgow...
Yea, its not that great is it, to be honest i was a bit shy about asking to take the photo, so didnt spend much time setting it up, and the reason it is squinty is that i am looking into a corner.
What i like is that other people can always see what you cant, or dont want to.
Thanks for that.

I also have the problem of other people seeing what I don't see or what i seem to block out. Never mind it provides endless talking points

'Squint' = noun, 'Squinty' = adjective eg. 'The bridge is squint' and 'It is the Squinty Bridge'.

Nope - surely here the word Squinty is being used as an adjective - not as part of the Bridge name

But shouldn't it then be the squinty bridge. By capitalising it becomes a proper noun. Although we could just call it the Clyde Arc. I'm sure somebody does!
The only other use I know of the word 'Squinty' is also as a proper noun - 'Sigtrygg the Squinty' - the Viking-Irish king. Surely 'squint' is an adjective like 'asquint'?

Although the bridge is properly known as the The Millenium Bridge, its oblique alignment to the river quickly gave rise to Glaswegians adopting the name 'the squinty bridge', this has now passed into common usage and you will find it referred to as 'The Squinty Bridge'.
I submit that both the capitalised and lower case usages of 'squinty' are correct.
Allegedly the squintiness is to allow for the passage of trams at some later date (greynolds999 will doubtless be able to recommend a suitable contractor).
Since the bridge was built mainly to allow BBC staff in their new HQ to return to their favourite restaurant, The Ubiquitous Chip, near their previous premises many think a far better name would have been 'The Ubiquitous Bridge'.

The trams are fabulous. Or they will be. Probably. Maybe.
It does worry you that when several years in the council are wondering if the people they asked to build them have the slightest idea what they are doing!
Do you think we should go for a subway instead?
(But I think the bridge was renamed to the Clyde Arc. They thought there were a few too many 'millenium bridges')
