Eeeh, it's all coming flooding back. I'm trying to remember exactly where Casa Records was now.


Casa Cassettes was just about across the road from the Third Eye Centre (now CCA).

James Cosmo lives (or lived) in Charing Cross Mansions. I hadn't realised he's Jimmy Copeland's son.

What are the Charing X mansions like inside?

When I was (very) young I would meet an auntie at the fountain who worked in McLaughlin's bookies at the corner of Lyndoch Place (Terrace?) I remember the to-ing and fro-ing of the shoppers and office workers at the X and the row of shops where the motorway is now. If ever an award was warrented for "ripping out, if not the heart, then at least a main artery of a city" it should go to the M8 at Charing X.
