dave.j Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Is it just me, or is there a distinct lack of post boxes in paisley? Is there any speed cameras, anywhere in paisley? Why is the polystyrene disposal at the other end of the car pack, 40 yards from the card board disposal at the new dump? Why do people indicate at the bend at the bottom of greenhill road? Why do folk think its acceptable to park outside and across the road from the roll shop, at the same bend. Restricting traffic? Why does the selfish prick who lives at the corner of cross road and Lounsdale road think its acceptable to park his grey rover up on the pavement restricting everyone's view, coming out of cross road. He has a drive way! Why do folk think they are above queuing in traffic when heading by the buddies bar towards maxwellton cutting into the left hand lane at the last minute across from the tyre place. At the same bit, why does the guy with the shitty old fiesta think it's ok to leave the arse of his car hanging out into the lane forcing a bottle neck. If you come out of Gilmour street station at say half 8 on a saturday night... Where's the closest place to get a pint of milk... The wee shop on canal street next to the piano shop, I kid you not! Why does Sports Direct only sell 2 different types of football shorts. 70 different types of slazenger polo shirt, 83 different pairs of adidas joggies... But only two pairs of football shorts, and one of them is goalie shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a convenience store/off licence just along from the station on Old Sneddon Street which sells milk as well as bevvy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Yes, there are speed cameras. Edited March 18, 2014 by davidg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSS Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 2 x speed cameras in Glenburn. People also indicate left at Glencairn Rd/Renfrew Rd.It's the only direction you can go!!! One phone call to the Polis would sort out the pavement parker. I watch for cars that try the sneaky cut in and drive accordingly to stop them.They don't like it!!! There's a shop for milk at the back of the Station and another at St Mirren St. Anybuddie help out with daves other questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintnextlifetime Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Due to a poor one-way system and the rampant proliferation of traffic lights (I kid you not , Paisley spent all its speed camera money on traffic lights) , there is no need for speed cameras as no one(excepting a couple of daftie cyclists gets above 30mph. . PS Aye there is a speed camera as you descend into Paisley from the Gleniffer Braes. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'd reckon people park outside and across from the roll shop for the same reason he's annoyed with the 40 yard distance between cardboard and polystyrene dumping points.

PS Aye there is a speed camera as you descend into Paisley from the Gleniffer Braes. . My dad worked for the lighting/roads dept with the regional council and helped design the one way system. The whole point was that it was designed to not have any traffic lights on it, then at the last minute he got told it was to have traffic lights. I'll give you the one just down from the braes. Maybe it's just cheaper to install speed humps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm annoyed at the dump, not because of laziness, but because it's common f**kin sense to put the two of them together. Who has ever recycled polystyrene without dumping the cardboard box it came in!

davidg Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Road layouts in Paisley can be a bit crazy. Causeyside Street heading towards town centre does my head in. Surely the traffic would flow better if the right lane was right turn only into Orchard Street and left lane could go straight on or left into New Street. The new pedestrian crossing is bonkers also. It's about 30 yards from the crossing st Corkers. Edited March 18, 2014 by davidg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) The natural thing to do is go round the new aldi car park in a clockwise direction. It doesn't even need road markings... But folk think its acceptable, when leaving to drive into the traffic in an anti clockwise direction. Same with morrisons across the road, folk ignore the bloody markings and go into oncoming traffic, to prevent themselves from having to travel in a 100 yard circle.

It's about 30 yards from the crossing st Corkers. It's fckin bizarre. My dad was based in Scotts Road before moving to Cotton Street, when they changed the councils, his dept were told that a couple would have to work in inverclyde, he jumped at the chance. The new road markings you mention, is that heading down towards st mirren brae, at the institute? The left hand lane is left only, but the right hand lane is for right and straight through? Mental!

Bud Bundy Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Is it just me, or is there a distinct lack of post boxes in paisley? No plenty of post boxes in paisley - I can think of at least 6 in The Foxbar area alone ? Is there any speed cameras, anywhere in paisley? off the top of my head I can think of 2 - Glennifer Road and Glenburn Road ? Why is the polystyrene disposal at the other end of the car pack, 40 yards from the card board disposal at the new dump? Polystyrene god rest her soul, was the lead singer with X Ray specs, Cardboard cut out's run our Local Authority ? Why do people indicate at the bend at the bottom of greenhill road? McFarlane Street is at the bottom of greenhill Road ? Why do folk think its acceptable to park outside and across the road from the roll shop, at the same bend. Restricting traffic? Greedy fat Bassa's who only care about getting something to eat, and have No consideration for fellow motorists ? Why does the selfish prick who lives at the corner of cross road and Lounsdale road think its acceptable to park his grey rover up on the pavement restricting everyone's view, coming out of cross road. He has a drive way! He or she is a self centred fcuktard, with no consideration for fellow motorists ? Why do folk think they are above queuing in traffic when heading by the buddies bar towards maxwellton cutting into the left hand lane at the last minute across from the tyre place. I refer Davie J to the previous answer At the same bit, why does the guy with the shitty old fiesta think it's ok to leave the arse of his car hanging out into the lane forcing a bottle neck. Because He/She is a selfish inconsiderate Baisturd If you come out of Gilmour street station at say half 8 on a saturday night... Where's the closest place to get a pint of milk... The wee shop on canal street next to the piano shop, I kid you not! See Scott D next post Why does Sports Direct only sell 2 different types of football shorts. 70 different types of slazenger polo shirt, 83 different pairs of adidas joggies...

pozbaird Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Weird things in Paisley? Without mentioning the SPFL football club based there? Impossible. The roads in Cumbernauld are top drawer by the way. Tons of 50mph dual carriageway, no traffic lights to speak of, pedestrians and traffic kept completely apart, new M80 upgrade completed. Job's a good un'. Cue inevitable Cumbernauld jibes... watter' aff' a duck's back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E=Mc2 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Never noticed a lack of post boxes.....? Post boxes are for what? I thought everybody emailed these days. If you are posting something that can't be emailed you would take it to the post office weighing and measuring as the Royal Mail are extremely adept at pi**ing off the recipient with further charges. Slightly off topic. Why do folk delete emails? I send important emails to folk telling them the information is good for 6 months and some consistently come back after a few weeks saying can you send it again as they have deleted it. My response is "Was the email taking up a lot of space in yer hoose?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleySaint Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Althought the traffic system in Paisley is .... unique, it is consistent and on my trips home doesn't seem to have changed a great deal over the years, did there not used to be a speed camera on Canal Street on the stretch with the fire station???
