billyg Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 asks a question, then answer same question with a question of questionable accuracy I've never heard of it before, and I know all the seedy joints in the town , so Oakshaw was a good bet as I haven't frequented that area too often since my school days !

bluto Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Where is that? Up Oakshaw way? I'm pretty sure it's in the grounds of Orr Square church (to the east of the Kirk) in what was the old manse for Mr Morrison - who was the minister when the 23rd BB was still on the go. Off topic: The BB hall was down Storie Street opposite the Nusery school that's still part of the college, I think.... nice grey sandstone buidling.... unless that's been demolished, too?) The Ashtree is a V Upmarket guesthouse. It's rumoured that an L. Armstrong stayed there recently... Quote

My granny knew him Maybe you knew my granny Quote
bluto Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) hmm , continuing the cycling theme , I am told Revd Morrison used to cycle all around Paisley. I'd forgotten that. He regularly had the bike clips on even when there was NO bike to be seen anywhere... Maybe you knew my granny I wouldn't put it past me.... (copyright:NSS) Edited October 21, 2009 by bluto Quote

billyg Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 slightly off topic....my mate said raeburns is moving into ashtree house - anyone know if this is true? ........................ and the owner of a place in County Square is moving into Raeburn's when it's vacated! Quote
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 ........................ and the owner of a place in County Square is moving into Raeburn's when it's vacated! My nephew is a chef in Raeburns, told me when they move into the hotel that Raeburns would turn the restaurant into a cafe. Not seen my nephew since the Blackpool game in the summer so maybe things have changed. Quote

Ooops Quoted wrong person - Meant to quote LS - Do you think they are trying to do what that Cardosi have done i.e. Cafe at top of Townhead at High Street Quote
Seaside Nipper Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 We must do all we can to provide for the eclectic palate of our international student populace whilst at the same time educate the artisan Paisley taste buds to that worthy of a more sophisticated foodie appeal Quote

FS Posted November 7, 2009 Report Posted November 7, 2009 these places need a 50% sale just to get near supermarket prices ,this maybe why they are closing Too true, although it's the supermarkets and their aggressive purchase policies that are driving the wee places out of business. Quote
