The research done by Howard Mitchel is very interesting, isn't it?

Thank you qochasco and dmf for your postings.

They attacked staff and later firemen, breaking all the windows in one of the villa...

Thank you very much Ninatoo!

Hello to you all! I would like to solve a problem which has darkened my life over the decades, and which has very much to do with Glasgow, therefore I post my query here.
