I prefer the paisley pattern when it's lit up red. If I'm in the passengers seat tomorrow I'll try and get a picture of it then. That makes it worse!

Slarti Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Was there a petrol shortage on when that photo was taken? Or was it because the petrol station slashed prices and it was the cheapest in Paisley by a penny?Nope, it was half a penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Arthur Blair Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 St Mirren Wynd which ran from the Cross diagonally southeast to the river Cart where it met the end of Causeyside Street. You can just see the cottages on Ellis Lane in the background. . A poster on the right advertises news of the eruption of Vesuvius in 1872.
