8O very interesting response from JB (of Record fame)...pity she did not actually live within the Pollok Areas surrounding Silverburn, then her comments may have been knowledgeable rather than critical. Not convinced that the correct research has been applied when considering the long term strategy ...

8) you may have to check with some of the older tenants from the old Craigbank, but i do remember an old field drain pipe, about 60inches that was located next to the burn, and you could go under the bridge.... but we are talking about when I was 10 or 12, so since 1962 there has been lots of develo...

::): interesting response CG23.....open for just 7 days and already we are arguing about things being added...why were they not there on the 25th...? whether the army of security quoted will stop the 'unwashed' remains to be seen....incidently, who defines who is worthy of being admitted to the 'hol...

8) Funny you should say that...i too am disabled and look for seating...none, but what was more concerning on the open day, I wear sandals all the time, and I could feel the floor as quite slidey....god knows what it will be like when it gets very wet, during the winter etc. As far as Coffee is conc...

:oops: As far as The Sushi bar is concerned....well good luck to them...! Personally, if fish is moving at all, i expect to see both tail and heed attached, so to see it 'doing a circuit' will take some getting used to.... Saw them today, preparing all their fresh fish and prawn items from 'fresh' p...

:P .....exactly my point...! with so many agencies able to access personal information...and sell it on an open market, the possibilities of an entire person being cloned due to medical, tax, banking, educational, criminal and driving ID's, now captured on 1 card, is frightening..........! Most agen...

:twisted: ID theft/fraud has become the biggest crime statistic in GB (police stats). The idea of a National Identity Card, (which we will have to pay for), has been tried in several countries and failed. And whereas the 'guff' from the Government states that the GB system will be better then any ot...

You are all correct...the assumption by the hierarchy that a 'famed' artist cannot produce anything other than real art....is PISH...! But of bigger concern is whether there was a shortlisted of this PISH, and Paterson's was the best....the mind boggles at that...! Title for this contraption..... Se...

:roll: I don't get offended at all....quite the opposite, however, so many do-gooders try to change what is good and bad for us that even a simple paper seller would probably fall foul of some official quoting a new law which forbids him 'selling loudly' in the streets. The point being, we have lost...

::): I will always remember with affection the wee fat guy who sold the papers on Gordon Street at the Central Station.... He could and did let it go regular.....in as loud a voice as he could get away with............ TIMES AND CITIZENENENENEN TIMES AND CITIZENENENENEN Written to emphasise the way ...

::): Thanks for helping with download of the photo..... Seems to be quite a few 'embibers' who know the area well.....! You are right the grant Arms is across the street and at the opposite end of the 'umbrella'. What intrigued me was the style which seems to go back to the 40's, and the only shop o...

Have a picture and put it on to FLICKR but cannot seem to get it to transfer to HG.....possible problems because I use a Mac...!

8O In relation to this subject matter, came across a riddle the other week. Under the Heilan'mans Umbrella, sits a pub called the Argyll Bar. Recent upgrading, and removal of old facia boards revealed, what seems to be 1930's (Rogano-style), decoration and included was this tablet, mounted at the ce...

::): With so much negative reporting surrounding 'Paddy's Market'. I was wondering whether a retropective of the lives of the carters and hauliers could be a good visual exercise? I remember vividly the carts selling books at the bottom of Bothwell Street, and apart from the current hand cart next t...
