You could hear that voice all over the market, The guy that shouted that used to run the sweetie stall IIRC.

I went to the market at Ayr racecourse and the first thing I heard was yer man .... Hurry Hurry Mrs Murray ::):

Aye, The same market travelled all over the shot, I remember seeing adverts on the buses for the markets like Easterhouse Shopping Centre, Govan (obviously), and Maryhill.

So no doubt the same guy was there giving it his all.

I bought some old theatre programmes in the Pantopticon shop in the High St. The first is the Alhambra from 1954; the second, the Kings from 1961.

These Victorian advertisements are in the back of a book which I found in an Edinburgh bookshop a few years ago but which I have only just got round to actually reading. It is called ‘Rambling Recollections Of Old Glasgow’ by “Nestor”, published in 1880 by John Tweed, Glasgow. The Rambling Recollections in question are reminiscences of Glasgow at the beginning of the 19th Century and they originally appeared in the Glasgow Herald before being published in book form. “Nestor” was the pseudonym of a man called John Buchanan who made his living as a banker.

Sounds a very interesting book Viceroy!

Some of it is a bit dry - Buchanan seems to have been a lawyer by training. But there are a lot of fascinating bits of information scattered about. This is the list of contents:
