The Hidden Glasgow Forums

Wow, that is some interesting and amazing info you have dug out for us! I got an e-mail from a curator at the Norwegian Postal Museum today, and he confirmed that the card is stamped at the letter department at the Oslo Central Post Office, September 1st 1932. Do you happen to know what church they ...

First of all; thanks for the unexpected, great response! We couldn't hope for better answers! Regarding the dating of the post card we can not be 100% sure, but we were told by the woman who gave it to us that they claimed it was from 1932 in the antique store. As far as I can read the "stamp&q...

Hi, in addition to being a huge fan of Glasgow, spending two weeks there every summer I work at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. And one of these days we got a call from a lady telling she found a postcard in a London antique shop sent from the Viking Ship Museum in 1932. This postcard was sent to Gl...

Thanks St. Clair. We're definitly going to Velvet Elvis for some burgers. Noticed that the daytripper map was covering quite a large area, are there any of the outside-Glasgow places worth a visit?

We are especially looking for possibilites of taking day trips out of Glasgow. But as we have no dri...

First of all; Glaswegians are the most polite and the nicest people we've met. As in strong opposition ...

I love how you praise the relatively low unemployment rates in Norway! Well, we're lucky in some ways, who chose not to outsource all oil-recources to privat companies back in the seventies. Most oil revenues are put in a fund which is thought to be a security when the numbers of elderly people are ...

Hi! I'm a norwegian 28years old bloke staying in Glasgow from 7th of August to 14th of August this summer, and I'm looking to see a part of Glasgow tourists seldom get to see. I have already read all about George's square, Glasgow Cathedral etc., but I'm searching for the hidden secrets of eating, d...
