The Hidden Glasgow Forums

Possil for the first part of my childhood then we got a brand new council house in Scotstounhill

HA!! imagine that happening now

ok money no object I'd buy the whole building on George Square the one with the pub underneath facing City Chambers this would include the whole of George Square as my private garden. Now I would need to build fairly high fences around to keep everybody out and I would use the space to hang out my w...

Hi all, I've just discovered this place today after googling Lanliq (it's a long story). I no longer live in Glasgow, I'm doon the watter in Stevenston. After losing my last job in the building trade I'm resurrecting my musical career and playing mostly pubs around the West Of Scotland. I might sta...

I wouldn't - my hubbie's a brickie - out of work

Lots of good advice here - thanks to all! I never thought too deeply about the outside fire escape system just always wondered why it was used in American tenements and not here probably the tenements are higher than ours and of a different design. As far as the idea of a sprinkler system in the top...

or even electrics? should they not have some kind of check done periodically by occupants/factor? What about those steel constructed fire exits that you see in New York tenements - wonder if they were ever considered? When I moved back into a tenement (top flat - furthest away from the stairs) my do...

I wonder to what extent recent fatal fires in high rises will colour housing association's plans re second stage transfer of these blocks. Probably nothing, its all to do with politiking and money. Its just as hard flinging yourself out of a top flat tenement when it's on fire. The new doors are fi...

Could you use your noise enhancing equipment (stop me for being techy) and see if he's banging on the pipes? Given that this is a Hidden Glasgow Forum - I see commercial potential here! Open these tunnels up and call it part of 'underground Glasgow' through in a date/ gift shop/ excessive admission ...

Which as especially handy when I still haven't found a butcher that I am happy with their wares and I know, in there, I'll get a nice tasting beef rib roast! Exactly. It's been about 3 years since I shopped in Byres road but I could never find any butchers. They can't all be veggy weggys in the Wes...

I started there a couple of years ago and ever since i started ive always had customers asking me if it was becoming Waitrose. Ah well, Il soon be a Waitrose employee :) :) All the Best to y...

Thanks for that! excellent site great info about the landlords and the history of the pubs.

Utterly wonderful news that Waitrose - the supermarket of the elite - is moving to the West End

pardon me for interrupting but does anyone remember a 80's programme called Beauty and the Beast? It was about people who lived in tunnels under the city and they used to bang on pipes to communicate. Thanks bye Can I refer you to this wonderful web resource?: http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/ In a w...
