Re: Night time food vans...

I notice the 'Maggie' on Queen Margaret Drive is parked on its usual spot at Botanic Gardens but it is never open, they had another two vans operating in the city, one up near Woodlands Road and the other at the fountain at Charing Cross, the latter left the area years ago. The one going towards the...

Re: Workplace Hates

A new wee wrinkle at my work today. According to my team lead, Lynne, one of the higher ups (she didn't say who) doesn't like the way I've got my workspace set up. Surely, as long as I'm doing my job the best I can, how I lay out my gear is nobody's business but mine? I'm gonna have a wee quiet wor...

Re: Night time food vans...

Thanks for replying BT I remember that one too for yesteryear... I'm just curious as to why the vans are still situated in places like Queen Margaret Drive but never open. These guys fork out a pretty penny for their licence and pitch with the council and they're not bringing in any revenue now and ...

Night time food vans...

We used to see these vans scattered throughout the city, they mainly served taxi drivers and folks falling out of nightclubs. When the Tuxedo Princess was berthed on the Clyde there was a food van doing a roaring trade. Up the road to Charing Cross at the lean to fountain, there was a van (which I s...

Re: Doorstop

Been on this site for years and over those many years, we've lost some of the most valued contributors and only contributors at times. The site is quiet now and has been for a number of years, we all remember the loveable Hollowhorn and others but I think that Heaven's gain is our loss and it's a ha...

Re: Summerfield Cottages, Whiteinch

As a resident of this part of the city, the new 'cross' went up with the waterfall and light and was on and off more than a whores knickers. There was a seating area of polished granite which the local and visiting youths of the area destroyed almost instantly and the fancy wee illuminations hardly ...

Re: Singer Factory Clydebank

This is true! A wee wifie in my congregation told me she used to come out of her front door in Alderman Road and look at the time on the SINGER clock.

I told her most folks bought watches or wall clocks!

Re: Not really interesting facts about yourself

I'm as bald as a coot, so never had to worry about missing the barbers as I do my own every Saturday morning. Clippers on 0 and one closely buzzed heid shines through. Saved me a fortune on barbers, shampoo and conditioner and I never get dandruff...
