I've just overheard some of the European (Polish?) workers from a nearby restaurant trying out their Scottish language skills, while on a fag break at the back door. They seem taken with "haw, ya fanny."

I agree !! I was there in the late 60's and just a wee bit too young to enjoy all it had to offer then ;)
I was impressed by the cleanliness and coolness! - I must do the Continent again ::):

You see quite a lot of St Pauli T shirts and replica tops around Glasgow but I don't really know why.

There was an extensive and interesting article on St Pauli in The Blizzard (and why, yes, I am a subscriber) in Issue 0.


Available as a 'pay what you want' download, and thoroughly recommended for anyone of a football-supporting persuasion that likes to read something more interesting than the fabricated pap that constitutes the coverage of most newspapers.

OK, so why are there quite a lot of St Pauli T shirts and replica tops around Glasgow?

It's not a question that keeps me awake nights but, if the answer is as obvious as you imply, I'd be delighted to hear it.

Read the article cited above.

Apart from anything else, the club emblem is the skull 'n' crossbones, which never seems to go out of fashion. They also have anarchist associations. Their merchandise is popular worldwide.
