Dennistoun's an interesting place. We spent a couple of years in a now demolished flat in Haghill before we moved back out here.

[jackthehat]

Before I visited Glasgow for the first time...........she told me Dennistoun was the 'posh-part'..............:o)

A man goes into a butchers shop. It's winter and the butcher is standing in front of an electric bar fire. The man says "is that your ayshire bacon?". The butcher says " naw, it's ma haunds am warmin'!"

You must have wondered what the rest of Glasgow was like if that was supposed to be a good area : 0.

I hope you went to the upmarket shopping mall that is The Forge!

Railway ticket office Glasgow

Customer - I'd like to go to London please.
Ticket seller - Naw son, ye've goat tae go tae London

[jackthehat]

For some reason, and it was nothing that she had said/hadn't said, I had pictured Glasgow as being a 'city on the flat'....like London.
Boy!! Was I ever wrong about that!! LoL
She took me to her old school, Alexander Park Parade 'Approved' School..:o)

I love it....my favourite city in the world. If something could be done about the bloody hills, I might even go and live there. :o)

[yinyang]

You're right about the hills. We used to go to The Cotton Club ( Ii met my husband there ) and when we came out at three am we would fly down the hill it was on and not stop until we reached the bus stop at George Square.

I know it's got a rubbish reputation but as a teenager I was in Glasgow every weeknd and not once did I feel scared or threatened. It's a great place.
