The original clipping from the Daily Record in 1982 from 44 Glen Street Motherwell was the local shop near where I grew up in Wood Crescent. I lived there until I was 18, and from the memory of many of the locals the story is quite likely to be completely accurate. Its still there and run by the same person, Pat Toner.

Hey i remember those Phones we used to get them when the Building Sites were starting up until BT had connected the land lines.

The batteries weighed a lot and lasted about an hour, and if you were on the Phone for any length of time the sweat would be running down your face from the heat off the handset.

I also had a Delboy special later as a Car Phone... one of the big brick thick V shaped things.... even back then i knew it was uncool. Saying that it would probably be more effective than a truncheon if anybody tried to mug you, you could just clobber them with it.

Never mind that, why are they trying to pass off the Great Eastern Hotel as the Kenilworth?

There used to be a hotel at the bottom of Queen St above Dunn & Co. That whole corner block Argyle St/ Queen St was demolished early 80’s. The illustration bares no resemblance to what it did look like if I remember
