faraway saint Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Brilliant picture. I remember biking all the way down to the start of the new bridge, having a paddle, then biking back home. @billyg I also remember the steep slope down to the ferry on the Renfrew side.

Slarti Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Erskine side. The "Erskine side" of the river was/is the same side as the "Renfrew side". Not the same place, but the same side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyg Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 The entrance to WEWW was opposite the Tile Bar , so it wouldn't be Goldbergs. There was a Domus Supermarket there , but I can't remember if there was something else after Domus and before WEWW ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a hairdresser there, or close, at one time as I remember getting my Kevin Keegan perm done there and, as it took so long, and I'd been for a dew games of pool beforehand 🍺 I had to run across to the Tile to piss as they wouldn't let me use the staff toilet.

Mate if what I had on my head was a transplant I’d be looking for my money back You normally find that it’s regular visitors to Turkey that get those sort of procedures done 🛫🧑🏻🦱🦷🛬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
