Carl Fredrickson Posted August 1 7 hours ago, Governor Tarkin said: Whitley Bay for us. Playing chasey with your new pals around the caravans while the grownups sat around in deckchairs having a peeve. Good times indeed. Feathers caravan park was our destination for the trades fortnight in the early 80s. I won the sports competition the first week one year only to get gubbed by weegies the following week. My folks are from Glasgow and knew Portobello well from day trips in the 1950s. I take my kids to Porty and North Berwick and will often hear Glasgow accents. East Linkfs is mobbed by families from the west during the school summer holidays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All about the ‘upbringing’ I guess. 8 hours ago, Harry Potter said: Beyond me pal, 2 cans o lager then go crazy. I know, Harold. Their heads are empty anyhow, then the lager, and the lack of good speech within, produce a surge of very poor behaviour, uncivilised and downright obnoxious.

If you’re nice to most folk, they will be nice to you in return. Had two guys last night who got in with about 10 cases of beer, cases of WKD and bottles of whisky. Whilst driving along he stabbed a can in the side and it started spraying all over the back of the taxi...why🤷🏼♂️🤬 As the saying goes...theres always one!

John Findlay Posted August 2 I would always rather deal with ten drunk men, than one drunk woman, and as for hen parties, I steer well clear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westbow Posted August 2 “It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while.” Quote from Frank McCourt’s misery lit Angela’s Ashes. Maybe a well behaved, respectful adolescence is no adolescence at all. Not condoning this behaviour but can understand it. Everyone flies with the crows at some point.

Large majority wont bother paying the fines. Where do you think they get their behaviour from in the first place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
