I'm in the market for a new camera at the mo, was looking at the Kodak Z700 (the wife wants me to get something she can use too). Has anyone got / used one of these and if so were there any probs, wee annoying things to watch out for etc. I've also been drooling over the Minolta 7D but at around £70...

There was no sign of any remnants of the boards in that area, although there is a patch of grass with a substation in the corner of it at the corner of Friarscourt Ave and Trinely Rd which is a possible location

Auld Glasgow

As for Scotstoun, probably not meant to use that road, but GCC cannot stop buses using any road they like. :roll: Actually the GCC(possibly requiring Scottish Executive approval) can designate roads as not for vehicles over a certain weight, which would be the equivalent of a 'no entry' sign to bus...

I do believe the private sector is part funding the repair and plinth. So do we slag the council for fixing it, do we slag them for accepting private funding, do we slag them for putting a statue up in the first place and going againt Donald's wishes or do we as usual just slag them? All of the above

Where were they? When did they close? When were they demolished? Any original buildings still standing or still in use? Any designed by Architects of note? Anyone got fond memories of visiting these facilities? Whiteinch is still standing, shared building with the swimming pool. The pool was closed...
