I love night photos. I should actually take some sometime.

My mum is raging. I showed her the pictures, she didn't recognise the street... She went to NK school, she came down the street on the right and got the bus at the bus stop just there. She drank in the pub on the corner, the HLI it was called in the seventies (she thinks). She's not happy about this...

I've got a Google Earth overlay using the map posted earlier. How do I get it up here?

I have a couple of overlays here. How do I share them?

Like already mentioned the chimneys match up, but just to be sure: Note the black chimney position and the cleanliness of the next one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/dvf/Glasgow/Picture2.png And here too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v713/dvf/Glasgow/Picture3.png edit: Just noticed the...

Just noticed something. In between the wall on the left and the tenement there is a lane going down a hill to the left, just in between the zebra crossing and the man stepping off the pavement. That wall is bothering me though, especially with the wooden frame with another wall behind it. I'm thinki...

I'll take any excuse. This is my daily driver. Its a 1970 VW type 3 fastback; This is my camper van, a 1973 VW type 2. Beet to Cornwall, Orkney, France, Holland, Belgium, Luxemborg and Germany. And this is the 1967 VW type 1 (beetle) I got for my fiancee Joanne. Dave. You'll probably know this site...

But to be there you had to be really lost, then again at that time of night it would only take about 10-15 minutes to get there from ...

Come to think of it, there are VERY few petrol stations where the shop isn't on the exit of the forecourt, so one at the back of the forecourt facing the road, regardless of make, shouldn't be that difficult to locate.

One more question, were you walking or in a car?

Were you drunk or sober?

How long ago had you left the SECC?

Any other landmarks?

Ach, I was going to post a comment about a certain Clydebank chippie, but it wouldn't be fair. The fish supper was fair, but not the worst i've had.

The boat?

Western Isles Road, Old Kilpatrick. All the streets in that development are named after towns or islands in the Western Isles and theres alot of them too.

The Parkhall area of Clydebank is named after types of trees.

Milton, Glasgow, is named after towns in the Shetlands.
