Well sort of cumbo,
The version I heard was a chicken product sold by the upside down W burger people. Where a customer asked for a burger of the chicken variety and specifically asked for 'No Mayonaise'. Punter duly bites into it and low and behold there is Mayo plastered all over it. On closer inspection it's a tumor! :mrgreen:

Nice!

Was Danny Browns not the night club on the Broomielaw which shut down and then became the Orginal Cathouse? before it moved to Night Moves??? at the bottom of Union Street.
Can't quite remember what it was called, anyone??? It wasn't the 'Ultra Tech' though, that was for big grown ups in Sauchiehall Street. The knock backs just headed for the 'Sauve' (Savoy) as usual or home in my case

If it is where the Cathouse is now, it was called VIVA

I’ve heard both.
Cumbo: I think yours was relating to the K*C which was on Argyle street under central station bridge late 70‘s 80s ish (quite a small one by all accounts).

Pgcc93: This I heard this way before they :twisted:

came to Glasgow. Could it have been Popeye’s friend? :wink:

I remember going to the Woolworth’s cafeteria which was above the store in Argyle street (what is now Dixon’s) It always looked massive with all those booths.
Also not forgetting the Café in the basement of Littlewoods which I think, (though I’m not an expert) It had the Smelly and pishy-est toilets in any retail establishment in Glasgow.

Just before M**onalds inflitrated UK, there was a place up charing cross end of sauchiehall street sold really tasty chargrilled burgers and thick milkshakes that were still drinkable without straining the jaw. I think it was called "52nd State" ~ Dino's Pizza was another good one.

Getting back to Scottish food - I don't half miss ashet pies and black pudden suppers, these are things which are UNHEARD OF on the south coast of England

Any other expats suffering withdrawal?

Before all the McDonalds crap way back in the early 70's i remember being taken to Skinners in St. Enoch's Square just down from RS McColl and just next to the definitive 70's pub "The Square Peg".
