That reminds me of a Billy Connolly joke. He had a Glaswegian mate who used to make his visitors a fried egg and call them bourgeois for not wanting to eat it out of their hands.
On-topic - I LOVE the rain.

I have ..for the record..never tried bucky..I have however tried its sister drink ..Eldorado..
As a young man in the early eighties working in Govan shipbuilders on the nightshift it seemed everyone was pi$$ed all the time.Which wasnt true but a lot of bevying went on.
The winter of 1981 was horrendously cold and the yard being next to the river was an awful place to be working in.
Managed to talk my foreman into putting me into the bar bay in the shed where I would gas cut the steel frames using that were used to stiffen the ships..The plater who did the making off of these bars was an old guy called Dinger Bell and he used to drink a bottle of EL.D a night somtimes two.
Funny funny guy who had been in the war and used to tell all us youngsters that he had been a dispatch rider for General Montgomary and he was on first name terms with "Bernard" He told us he was in a Dakota on the morning of D-day sitting on his motorbike and when the light turned green he drove straight out of the plane the parachute automaticly detaching itself when he hit the ground so he didnt waste any time riding to see Monty....Superb..Anyway he used to give me a small cup of Eldorado to warm me most nights that winter and have to say it worked a treat... |

Thanks everyone for contributing.
Sometimes threads just take on their own life and it is good to read some personal stories of ordinary life in the Raintown. Please keep it coming.
Post any photos at any time of Glasgow in the Rain. Tell us your stories or even find a Glasgow related song that mentions the raintown
