Had it been much later I'd have said from a flat in Coillesdene House, but that wasn't built until the 1960's. Anyone know what was on the site before the flats were built? 41 minutes ago, Radio Ga Ga said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

been here before Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 5 hours ago, 3fingersreid said: Broughton street , they wee buses were driven by maniacs Very true. When I was about 19/20 there was a big recruitment drive for people to train up to drive those buses and I decided to give it a bash. The first part was an aptitude test which I got a call about a couple of days later. I passed but 'failed' because Id scored too highly. ?

Maroon Sailor Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Just trying to think what the set up here was. People waiting at a bus stop presumably heading West but all the buses heading West are on the East direction lane due to roadworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooles Synod Hall. Wasn't "successful" in the usherette department but did go through a spell in my teens when I would go there to catch the odd horror film. I remember sitting in that right-hand balcony and sometimes coming out with a sair neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
