magnus Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Came across an old picture of my brother dragging a set of wheels from a pram - treasure back in the day. The plan obviously was to find a plank of wood some nails and get building. But was it called a geeg or a bogie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russian Saint Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Slightly off topic, but. Did anyone else ever have one of the old metal roller skates (Woolies and Logan’s on Foxbar Road were I believe the purveyors of said antiques) and use an old Christmas annual as a seat and tear down the nearest pavement on a hill. Hollows crescent was like Brands Hatch during school holidays. Them were the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All great until you picked up too much speed and it all started to wobble from side to side - ending with the skate flying out. Happy days indeed - and mostly sunny 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky1 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 A Geeg for me, me and as many of my pals as possible going down Don Drive into Nith Avenue. Then a neighbour would appear on the pavement and it was either onto the road and hope for the best or crash into the kerb and send yir mates flying into the hedge, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
