I remember she bought me a wee metal model plane, a Gloster Javelin, for being a brave wee boy! There must have been a toy shop close by. Now reliably informed the Dentist was called Dr Storie. I started going to Copsticks much later above Lews. With Storie being there, I would imagine the wee toy plane came from Walker Street post office .

Desperately Seeking Susans Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Went for a walk in Paisley today and took some photos. The first one I'll let you guess where it is and another example of the deterioration of Paisley's heritage. If anyone knows of its history (if it has one) please reveal it.

Desperately Seeking Susans Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Following on from ma wee photos this English lady was voluntarily cleaning up in Kilnside Rd. That was her third and final bag after cleaning up in the Seedhill area as her hands were getting numb. I'm lost for words on how I can pay her and others who do this, the highest compliments.

The sad reality is that there are many more selfish bastards that live in our communities who for reasons I can’t fathom can’t take home their rubbish or pick up after their dogs. Yes, that's the organisation she's a member of. Littering is one of my pet hates and I don't think the government is devoting enough resolve in tackling it (SORRY for going off topic from the thread!!!)

Desperately Seeking Susans Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I recently paid a visit to Castle Douglas and walked around the town for a while and I'm NOT exaggerating when I say that I didn't see one piece of litter anywhere including side streets. It was unbelievably clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALBIONSAINT Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 The west end needs a make over. Some really nice buildings, but I fear they will all be lost if there isn’t some form of regeneration in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
