Off-licence Edgefauld Road
Apr 30 2008, 7:30 PM EDT
I can only dimly remember this as a sweet shop. Correct me if I am wrong, but it was a pretty rough area by the time the off-licence was there. My brother in law is from a wee place outside Edinburgh, as well as having pretensions. Unbeknowest to us until afterwards, he had went to that off-licence and asked the guy behind the counter if he could recommend a nice wine. He was laughed out the store, all they sold was bucky and Elderado. 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

A lot of Sprinburn used to be quite nice, this event must have taken place about ten years ago easily. I've not been posting as much as my health has taken a turn for the worse. Soon as am feeling better, I hope to join in the gabbing again. Do you find this valuable?

Nothing serious as far as I know, just doing tests at the moment. Just don't seem to have much energy, am sure I'll be fine once they find out what is wrong and start treating it. Thanks. Do you find this valuable?

Just caught up with your posts and hope you are over your energy problem.
When it was an offy I'm surprised it had moved up market - in my day you would have got VP and cider if you were lucky but it was a sweet shop then.
I think it's a hairdresser's now but will check next time I'm passing.

Yep. I think you are right about it being a hairdresser. My father moved back to Springburn, a very changed place since I lived there as a youngster. Shocking the way the powers that be decimated what was once, in essence, a small town with plenty of amenities. It was starting to go downhill when I lived there back in the 70s, although I can see that it once was a thriving, bustling community. Do you find this valuable?
