Then would head up to the odeon in renfield st to catch a movie. .

Cazzie wrote:Memories! My first permanent job was with Lewis's in Argyle St in the early eighties - when the St Enoch Centre was still a car park. What a hotbed of activity and intrigue it was - certainly a book to be written in there! It wasn't too far removed from "Are you being served?". It was a great place to work ( certainly didn't think that at the time!) with a load of real characters. Worked in training for a while and had an office on the top (sixth) floor with fabulous views over the city. A real institution - and hard to believe it existed alongside Bremners, goldbergs, Arnot Simpsons and Frasers....

Dont understand it myself as there are loads of pics and descriptions on here that are far worse. Im still looking for my memory card with the pics Ill post them when I get it and see how long they last for. Failing that Ill post them on the "other" site.
