Paddy's Market loses its licence

[Bingo Bango]

Jesus, can you imagine the state of that, if the qulaity of the 'actors' was commensurate with the other merchandise on sale.....

[onyirtodd]

It is certainly a more interesting walk through than any department store,I was told by a friend that porn movies were made at some premises under the arches.

Made and sold.

Last date set for Paddy's Market

Glasgow's 200-year-old Paddy's Market is to cease trading within two months.
Network Rail, which currently runs the lease for the site in Shipbank Lane, has written to traders and told them to vacate the area by 15 May.
The £100,000 lease will transfer to Glasgow City Council at the end of May - paving the way for regeneration work.
The authority is considering plans for another market with "quality traders". It previously described Paddy's Market as a "crime hot spot".
The council said the "multi-agency costs" of tackling problems related to crime and anti-social behaviour in Shipbank Lane had totalled £277,000 in 2006/07.

....another market with quality traders.."

How gullible are we....what we are about to see is the resurrection of the infamous 'Briggait' and its high to middle-class traders, all selling goods we could do without....
The possibilty of wee Mrs Broon being able to get a bargain for her family will be a distant memory, as the new rich and socially-acceptable face of Glasgow will move down from the Merchant city, and dominate this ...'new market'.
Just another slice of Glesca life being eroded by the 'grey people' who are dominating our lives.....

As usual you are talking straight out your arse.

The pornography market has been saturated for decades.
Over production in several location in the world.
Cost of pornography has never been lower.

No one has ever made commercial pornography in Glasgow.
They couldn't afford to.

Why would they — it is available at a fraction of the price from Eastern Europe, Middle East, Russia, South America.
High quality models — multiple platform technologies.

But no you say — they avoid these sources and make it themselves in an arch in Paddy's Market.

I was there the other day too, first time for years. Glad I had my camera to get shots before it went.

[Riotgrrl]

Well it's shut now.

At 9 am this morning it was hoaching with police carrying out stuff in black binbags.

By 4.30 pm this afternoon steel gates with padlocks had been put up at both entrances to the lane.

Does this mean I will no longer be able to buy a bag of smack on my way to work in the morning?
