Hi Danny,

I remember the Rag and Bone man very well, he used to blow a bugle not a trumpet. My Mum always checked that you weren't grabbing any good clothes before she would let you out the door! Yeah I remember that place in Ballater St it used to have mountains of clothes all heaped up in there ...

Hi John glad your back this site has been very slow as there is a new kid on the block "facebook" :lol: with photos of some of the Gorbals people I had a wee glance at it didn't go through it all but didn't know anyone must be a lot younger than me.
Sorry about your laptop pity you didn't stay up ...

Hi Danny,

Nice to hear from you too pal. Yeah technology today is unbelievable at times, so many devices available compared to when we were kids. You are right, the only phone I ever seen in those days was inside a Red box and you needed money to use it. Money, what was that! Never seen too much of ...

Hi Everyone,

I sincerely apologise for my somewhat abrupt and protracted absence, but it was out of my control. A couple of months ago I was baby sitting my little Grandson and had just served up his lunch to him when I decided to start up my computer mainly for his entertainment when he started to ...

Hi John (partner)
Maybe we should send Mr. Beltrami and his associates a formal invitation to our meet and greet at Blaeloch, the poor "Silents" would be gob smacked! :lol: :lol: Notice oor Amelia is not taking us up on the offer to join us, I was hoping she could wear her hat and we could all make ...

Hi John (partner)
That's a great idea we'll meet up with Amelia at 31. Anyone else in? :lol:
But wait a minute! Now we're going in if the house is empty? God almighty John that'll be another charge, so it will be stalking, harassment and now break & enter! Now we will need Beltrami's entire legal ...

The dinner I hated most was.......ribs and cabbage...I could not stand the "slabbery" mess of it..

Hi Margaret,

Oh I loved Ribs and Cabbage, haven't had that in years! I well remember an eating establishment near The Barra's which I think was on London Rd or just off there, I'm sure that was all ...

My Ma used to make 'Stovies' on a Saturday afternoon for my Da to eat when he came back from the pub, I used to enjoy it as well with a couple slices of bread.

Hi,

I loved Stovies too with a nice bit of bread and butter. Very filling and very tasty meal made from left overs usually. Can you ...

Hi All,

I made a knock up meal for some of the Grandchildren the other day and I explained to them that I would be making it the way my Mum did when I was a kid. One of the children asked if I would be doing a starter and some afters.....So I said yes I would and I would make up a little menu for ...

Hi Sheila,

It will be nice to go home for a visit it's been too long since the last one and I'm really looking forward to it. Yes let's make plans to meet outside No 31 and we will get Amelia to come along with us, we can have some placards held on our shoulders saying " Please help the needy " or ...
