Sharpie Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 5 hours ago, Maroon Sailor said: That 19 bus service was part of my meeting my wife. On the Saturday she and her friend went to the Cavendish the friend met a guy and wanted to see him again. On the following Wednesday they were told to get a 19 bus and it would take them right to the Cav. They got to the bus stop and waited an hour and a half for a number 19, Louise the friend was shy and despite Esthers insistence would not ask for help. Esther got mad and asked a guy who told her the bus was a rush hour bus and stopped running two hours ago. Louise wanted to just go home, but Esther being who she was said no way, I am not going through this for nothing we get the next bus thats going there, and they did. Not long after I arrived asked Esther for a dance, and the next sixty two years were spent together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby wedding anniversary in March doesn't look like we will be able to celebrate much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Having been absent from many parts of Edinburgh for over fifty years it is indeed amazing such as this picture to see those new high rise buildings in what appears to be normal older residential areas. Possibly even corporation houses. I have absolutely no clue to where that could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I posted I remembered one being built around the early sixties, I seem to recall during building of one the sun decks had been put on the wrong way around and a workman stepped out on one and they went down like a deck of cards. I think he died as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
