glasses etc, can be seen in the cobbles, i believe it was a worker falling from spire that they commemorate

i was also living in glenburn and at primary school at the time, i lived in glenburn road and we were all wakened by the explosion, i remember being concerned for all the people who worked there and lived near me, i also remember it being caused by a build up of dust, and to this day am wary of dust building up anywhere i have worked/lived

brilliant, sums them up

one goal in eight games on loan with oxford aug - dec 2011, not impressed

a lat - are you chinese and why did you go to look at a rat

there were many interpretations of his name , but all for the same chap

yes indeed, it was only a transit depot for the milk after it moved from lady lane because the lorries delivering milk got bigger and couldn't get into the depot at lady lane, the main part of the hawkhead road building was the co-ops' own ginger factory - hendrys, they made the ginger there but as i recall the creamery was in shieldhall

across the road was where i used to go in the early morning to meet up with the milk van and help load it up before heading for our round in glenburn, the milk all came on a large lorry from the co-op creamery in glasgow during the night, we usually got picked up in glenburn after the van was loaded but during school holidays we walked down at about 5 in the morning and loaded it ourselves (always managing a few extra crates (in case of breakages) the van driver sold the extra crates to the co-op manager at the skye crescent shop and we all got free milk to take home, the manager used to warn me that it better not mean my maw would lower her milk order of 6 pints a day

yes scott 75% cut will mean some will lose as much as £9.50 a week

nope , just in the wrong with the "very soon " part

or sam

they call it the fire house now, it was named as one of the buildings in paisley that were to be refurbished by the council - then the credit crunch hit, they were meant to be getting a grant for it, don't know what's happening with this now

is that andy gray playing the pipes, i wondered what he was doing now , great vid

not yet scott, they're probably waiting to see if we make top six or not, could mean a vast difference in how much they would have to pay for shares, could be 5 or 6 pence more per share.

me and my siblings were ordered to attend the co-op halls every saturday morning for elocution lessons, they must have been free with the dividend or the fact we were one of their biggest customers for food, milk , clothes - six boys and two girls, and the elocution "howw noww browwn coww" would trip off the tongue whist standing in the splendour of the hall with the erse o yer troosers aw ripped and snotters blindin ye

beg to differ billy, chic gilloughley (we arrogant ginger cnut) was at st mirins and was also at st peters glenburn , a very common myth was that he was connected to the jewellry store owner one he would not deny himself but the jewellers was spelt gillougley - no H, and the wee ginger one and his tall also ginger brother lived in council housing iirc and although not paupers like my lot , they were not that rich, and i did quite often question him and his brother angus on the spelling difference, but was ignored

nearly but not quite right, arnotts was just cochranes (a house of fraser company) and the jewellers was gillougleys'

correct there but the warehouse i'm talking about was down past love street ground, it might have been allied suppliers who opened it under their own name though, they - galbraiths marketed their own jam, it's all on wiki

Wonderful Wikipedia ....Galbraith and Sons was a retailing company based in Paisley, Scotland. The company grew to over 220 stores, establishing their own food production plants to supply their stores. Galbraith's were acquired in 1954 by Home and Colonial, becoming part of the Allied Suppliers Group. Galbraith's survived as one of the Scottish trading names for Allied Suppliers until 1987, when it disappeared as part of the Argyll Supermarkets re-branding to Safeway Stores.The company was formed as Galbraith and Sons Limited (in 1894), the name was later changed to Galbraith's Stores Limited and survived as a trading subsidiary of Argyll Supermarkets (along with R&J Templeton) until 1987[2]I was nearly right

galbraiths was taken over by a company called allied suppliers they had a distribution warehouse on the site of the many car hire firms yards down past the old ground, allied changed the shop names to presto which was bought by safeway which was bought by morrisons, all the wee shops in the schemes closed when changing to presto as it was one of the first supermarkets in the town and "pile it high -sell it cheap" was the new thing

it was lyons the coal merchants shop at one time the lion also appeared on their lorries, there was indeed a pair of lions the other one stood in their coalyard

ah the auld gasometer in well street

i will remain sceptical, it's my opinion, and i also think that as some people will be making large sum investments then they will be the decision makers not small investors

i made no reference to r*ngers, i am sceptical because i am wary of someone, it's my opinion and i'd like to be proved wrong
