Someone important in town yesterday?

Postby ambriel » Tue Jul 31, 2007 2:15 pm

Was up in Glasgow yesterday and around lunchtime saw a black Rangerover with blacked-out rear windows, plus at least four Police motorbikes and a Police car escort in the Govan area.

Anyone got any ideas who it was?

Saw her big motor in Duke Street many years ago, with a police motorcycle escort.

There was also a huge big helicopter at about 10 last night too, hovering about central station.

It was about 1985 I saw her, she may have been driving round & round since then :wink:
