Happy 70th! All things East Kilbride

East Kilbride will be seventy years old. It was the first post war New Town, Glenrothes followed soon after, then attracted many cutting edge and prestige companies. It has not had its sorrows to seek of late in these austere times but it is seeing a slow but steady resurgence. Any East Kilbride obs...

Re: The Peter Manuel case.

Manuel's sister went on to become a nurse of great reputation and regarded with great affection in Lanarkshire. A devil and an angel in the one family.

Re: The Jolly Giant

It *was* 1985 and the Star Wars figures were Chewbacca and Medic droid. I know what you mean about the final, rare figures and I kick myself reminiscing now.

Re: The Jolly Giant

Re: The People's History Show

I like the vaguely amateur but knowledgable style. A refreshing manner away from Neil Oliver's unilateral and declarative egotism.
