"Am' still scatchin' ma' heid at this puzzle siccar----but ah did see Laurel & Hardy at the Empire!--ma pals Mammy was the cleaning lady,she got free tickets for bags o' shows."

"I was a milk boy working from Hopkins Dairy from 1952 to 1955.
The Dairy was located in Westerhill Road, Bishopbriggs just before Cawder Cemetry. The father was William Hopkins and his son Bill and daughter drove the two lorries.
I had to get up at 5.30 am walk from Gourlay Street upto Hawthorn Street to get the 1st tram from the depot that turned and went out to Bishopbriggs X.I then had to walk the mile to Westerhill Road before starting deliveries. Finished at 8 am then got the tram back to Springburn. Mad dash to scoff breakfast then upto Albert school for 9am.
Walk from Bishopbriggs to Cawder was scary in the winter with no street lights. Helped when my pal, Robert Williamson from Endrick street started.
Sometimes we would get a lift from the Milanda Bread van that was delivering to Kirkintilloch.
Ah those were the days, great memories that could well be another story."

"There was the Co-op grocers at the corner of Morrin Street. The manager in the early 50's was a Mr Miller. My big sister Marion married his son Hugh.
There were also two other shops adjoining, I think one was a dairy.
I also remember another shop next to Jimmys at Endrick street. It was on the other side of the close and I think it was a bakers."

"As I said above my Dad worked in the Caley. He also used to organise bus runs to various places. We all used to meet at the Cathedral on High Street and got the bus to Millport, Burntisland Ayr to name but a few. He also organised dinner dances to The Loch Lomond Hotel in Balloch. "

"I thought I would send this web link to all the exiles like me so that they could see what was going on in George Square.
This is, as you will see, a link to a live web cam 24 hours a day.
