speculation or imagination, could be either .......... I remember attending a Christmas part at the Rootes works; it was an annual thing I think for the children of the workers and goodness knows how I cane to be there as my Father never worked there; and yet! i suppose it is  just one of those memories that stay with one.

My Dad worked there and remember the kids Christmas parties in 60s

The Linwood Plant was also in Elderslie . The boundry was as you leave Linwood about 50yds from the big roundabout which now has the flyover over it. I can't find the boundry map at the moment but it has been posted before . So Linwood stops around the turnoff for the Inkerman Road. .

The Asda Phoenix address is Paisley!

I can confirm without doubt, that Christmas is an annual thing :)

Yer all wrong , Asda is in Paisley , so is Braehead , so is the Airport , everybody else can gtf with their claims to our stuff.
????

[Callum Gilhooley 10,074]

Braehead is in Renfrew (unless you mean Braehead in Glenburn, of course). You're right about Asda and the airport.

Renfrews in Paisley as well, we’re claiming it. So is Linwood, Elderslie, Johnstone, Erskine & Bishopton . We are annexing the lot of them .


But we don’t want Barrhead.

They're not getting their hands on it - it's in East Renfrewshire, not Glasgow and never has been.

Braehead is in Renfrew 

The main shopping centre is in Renfrewshire (as is Xscape or whatever it is called now).

The retail park (Harry Corry, Currys/PC World, Saimsbury etc) is in Glasgow,

I suppose if you were feeling adventurous, you could go to Silverburn.

Silverburn is pish. At least Braehead has an HMV, or, as I call it, the Braehead Man Zone.

Interesting if true, that the dividing line between Renfrewshire and Glasgow runs through Krispy Kreme Donuts at Braehead. There should surely be ID checks and a checkpoint Charlie arrangement going on down there.

We won’t hold that against them. Much.
