Has anyone ever heard of "Aitkens" brewery? There used to be a pub behind Alexandra Parade, by the Monkland Canal called "The Monkland Vaults" (I'm pretty sure of the name) it had a sign hanging outside which was a depiction of a tiger and it's stripes spelled the word "Ait...

I assume the station was where the coal/goods yard was in the 60's, right on the corner of Blochairn and Royston Rds, if my memory serves. Trains were still being unloaded there in 1968. There was an overhead mobile crane with a grab and I went for a job operating it. Didn't get the start, £6 a week...

Indeed the problems are not being tackled by any politician and moral panics about within the spin. Low self esteem? I'm sorry I dont agree with that at all. Yes you get in a rut, Ive lived with that too. I was brought up with unemployed parents, then a single parent, I have low self esteem problem...

When I was a bus conductor back in the days, blah blah blah, where was I? Castlemilk!! used to hate going through Rutherglen to there, working the no 46 from Cranhill after closing time (10pm), as that was the nearest wet area to the scheme. The bus used to fill to the gunnels and nobody paid attent...

I don't have a tape of any 1975 programs and I don't intend to have a house full of mouldering 1970's pseudo-radical pamphlets with fleas jumping out of them either. Only a child would expect 100%, once you have allowed for dyslexia, immigration and people with learning difficulties, statisticians w...

Re: Was everyone literate and numerate in bygone times?

What does your Dad term as "illiterate and innumerate?" They couldn't read a newspaper or work out their wages? What do you define as Illiterate and innumerate and where are your facts that there was zero illiteracy. Was this when you lived in the kailyard and went to University with a ba...

My Dad, now approaching sixty, spent eighteen years working in the Parks Department with people who were for all intents and purposes illiterate and innumerate. Did they learn at school and then forget later? What does your Dad term as "illiterate and innumerate?" They couldn't read a new...

You're right of course Tarzan, you didn't mention corporal punishment in your post. My earlier comments to you regarding the belt stemmed from the belt-context in which you first used "behaviorism". I can only agree with you regarding there being a place for "behaviorism" in tea...
