If you're seriously considering Glasgow, tell them you have a better offer and they need to beat it.

Remember that what you say during your salary negotiation has probably more impact on your future salary than all the great stuff you will do during the following ten years. Sometimes one sentence can increase your salary by 100%.

Or you can work extra hard during the whole year to finally increase your salary by 1-2%. Your choice.

Good point. With two offers that you're actually indifferent between, you should ask for more money from at least one of them.

He could tell London this too, not too much difference there. Asking for more money is expected of one when given a job offer(In the United States anyway, I doubt it is different in the UK.).
