All primary school pupils in Glasgow get free, fresh fruit every school day.

The different types of fruit you might be given includes apples, oranges, grapes, bananas and pears.

Not only does it taste great but it is also really good for you. Fruit can boost your memory meaning your performance will improve in class. It also gives you lots of vitamins helping you to stay fit and stopping you from getting ill.

What we will do is ensure the quality of teaching and learning in Glasgow is protected.

I wish to hear from Councillor Matheson on his reason to cut giving out fruit to primary school children.

He must have saved a tenner! Why not cut out the free drinks and food to councillors and ex-councillors. That would save Glasgow at least £2 million a year!

They have large pensions as well, which should be reduced !

"This has taken my breath away. I am completely blown away. I am thrilled and I can't really put into words how I feel about it. Apparently I have to defend Glasgow if called to, which I am perfectly prepared to do and which I have done on many, many occasions in the past.

But if I commit a crime and am flung in jail, I am entitled to a cell of my own, which I would like more than anything in the world."

"I don’t dwell on where I come from. It's a great trap to fall into. I meet all these guys all over world, particularly from Govan and the Gorbals, who say 'Never forget where you come from', and of course I don’t, but it can be a mistake to dwell on it. You can get a bit, 'Och aye the noo'. But I’m immensely proud of Glasgow. And as soon as I open my mouth, you can tell where I come from."

"There's nothing I would change about Glasgow. In fact, it changes too much for me. I come back and the trendy restaurant isn’t the trendy restaurant any more. It gets brighter and brighter but I liked it the way it was. When I think of Glasgow I see Renfield Street; it’s raining, there’s cobbles. It was beautiful. It was like Las Vegas."

"We are not going to strike. We are not even having a sit-in strike.

Nobody and nothing will come in and nothing will go out without our permission. And there will be no hooliganism, there will be no vandalism, there will be no bevvying because the world is watching us."

"It's a very old-fashioned attitude and it's simply not true. The two things Scottish mothers are particularly good at are home baking and soups. Many people say their mums make the best of whatever dish and are still very proud of it. My mum makes the best soup, my cousin's mother makes the best clootie dumpling, and so it goes on."

"It would be a tragedy for Scotland if we lost this historic site. It is one of the few remaining tangible links that we have with our national hero. Every six months, housing gets nearer and nearer and you can now spot it from the well itself.

It's only a matter of time before it gets right up to the well, and then what? Will another slice of Scottish history disappear? Only in Scotland could such a fact be contemplated. In countries like France and America and even England, they preserve their past much better than we do.

In those countries, they would build a visitor centre and make it a national attraction. If we lose Wallace's Well, it would be nothing short of a national scandal."

"Those of us who love the ship are concerned that it will end up being sold for scrap. The economic downturn means all those plans for the future in Dubai have come to nothing and it is simply languishing in a dock.

It is still a fully functional ship and could sail anywhere in the world. But the owners seem reluctant to give any indication as to their plans for her.

One hears rumours, and of course what people are saying is that it will be run aground on a beach in the Indian Ocean and broken up piece by piece, like so many great ships before her. That would be an absolute tragedy."

I believe it would be one of the UK's biggest tourist attractions if the QE2 was berthed on the Clyde. You only have to look at the Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith to see that there is an appetite for attractions of that sort.

Personally, I would love to see the ship return to Glasgow, but as long as it can have a secure future that would be the most important thing.

"It is one of the great images of the Catholic religion. I think it is absolutely mad to have it go when the Pope is coming to visit. It's an absolutely stupid decision.

I like Atlanta [High Museum], it's a nice museum and it will be good for the people who see the show, but if you lend the great works, you get back in return something that the Glaswegians want to see. You get great works in return, that is how it works. If you loan for money, what does £25,000 do? Is it used for clearing up the parks or something? There are other budgets for that type of thing.

I think it is just wrong, it should only be going for a short period: two or three months at most."

"The iconic Christ of St John of the Cross is the key exhibit in this summer's Dali exhibition at the High Museum of Atlanta. This loan agreement includes a commitment to find out much more about this Glasgow treasure and how important it was to Dali's career before it returns early next year."

"It should be personal preference. I'll have to wait and see.

I'll have a chat with the guys. I don't want to be bowing and the person I’m playing with walk straight past or the other way around.

You obviously need to have an agreement before you go on. I'll have to speak to the organisers about it.

... It obviously would be a great honour to play in front of the Queen."

"There are two main concerns. The first is that, with cuts in other social services offered by Glasgow City Council, more work falls on a diminishing total workforce and that the overall standard of service falls.

The second concern is whether, in initial contact, key signs are missed about a high-risk situation for a child or adult. When call centres work well they can save a lot of time and legwork trying to find out where the right place is for the help you want.

There's nothing more frustrating than getting on to a call centre and speaking to someone who doesn't have a clue about what you are looking for."

"The social work department has to work within the financial constraints affecting the whole council, but it is hoped that the service reforms the department is currently undertaking will lessen the impact of those who take early retirement.

... [The call centre would] allow qualified staff to be involved in the first point of telephone contact and assist with initial assessments. It will also free up staff who had previously fielded calls to undertake other tasks."

"The loss of 800 staff is something social services can ill afford. I don't understand the comment that 'frontline staff will be freed up' – in fact, they won't be there any longer. There may be a case for a social work call centre – but if so, consideration should have been given to using a one stop shop with NHS 24."

"It's extremely disappointing that a multi-million pound campaign which is acceptable in major cities all over the world is deemed unacceptable by a Glasgow City Council committee, a campaign advertising training shoes.

The committee seemed to object on moral grounds due to the use of bare legs, which is ironic when you come out of City Chambers and see taxis on the road advertising lap dancing venues. We're simply advertising a pair of shoes which helps tone up your legs and backside, in line with a global campaign run by Reebok."

"The committee considers each advert on its own merits and, if necessary, takes a democratic vote on whether it should be approved. On this occasion, the majority view was that some of the text - and also the image, which showed a pair of bare legs from just below the backside - were not appropriate."

"As we left the health centre I saw three ladies coming out of a car and they told me there was this new scheme, offering £200. Then I saw a bit of paper in her hand and it had drug addicts written on it.

I'm not a addict. I think I was approached because I was in the Possilpark area – it's a well-known area for drugs - but that's where my doctor is based."

"I'm very hurt and angry that someone could approach me in the street and ask me those sorts of questions at all, let alone when I had my nine-year-old with me.

I asked her to leave me alone but she kept going on and on so I had an argument with her and got on the bus to go home.

My son knew they were asking me questions, and he asked me what it meant to be sterilised."
