General Chat

I used to work with a very snobby woman who name-dropped constantly. Always going on about the her toffy friends, and how they were from "a very old family" :-(

One day I told her my Mother was from a very old family.

Really dear, what was her maiden name?

Adam, you can't get much older than that.

She was not impressed.

:-D

Stupid expression anyway, we're all from very old families.

We have been in our house for over 40 years
and our days of travelling are over.

First house we got, brought our children up here,
lots of memories also.

Hame Sweet Hame :-D

No, I wasn't born in Cambuslang, my grandfather was. Grandad's 5 youngest siblings were born in Dalserf.

Grandad was one of 17! Surname is ADAM

I was born in Bellshill hospital in Glasgow (but we didn't live in Glasgow).

Myself, I travelled with my OH while he
was in the Army, stayed in England and abroad.
We came back to Aberdeen and have been here ever since :-)

Robert,

Married in EK
Raised my kids In EK
........... and I STILL live in EK

However my eldest daughter has moved to Paisley ( but she still works in EK... LOL)

I lived in Dennistoun for a while then King's Park.

OH lived at the bottom of the castle esplanade in Edinburgh in his childhood.
He saw every tattoo from his window. :-) :-) :-)

Cambuslang, EK, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, South West Scotland, etc.

We cover a fair bit of Scotland although many of us (myself included) no longer live there.

We should start a Directory on where we lived in Scotland and where we live now.

Myself -Edinburgh now North East England.
LadyScozz - Cambuslang now Australia

Hi Kate and welcome :-)

I'm from Aberdeen. :-D <3

Ladyscozz....
lol no i wasn't born then :-) just thot i might have known the name do you still have family in cambie ? x

hello glasgow lass,
yip its a wee stone's throw away... ;-) x

Regarding the Festival in the Mud.......... there's an article in the local newspaper. 30,000 people attended the festival, the police also attended, with sniffer dogs.

468 grams of illicit substances were siezed, and 92 people charged with drug-related offences.

If I was in a tent, in the mud, with 30,000 other people, I think I'd need something too..... did everyone get 0.0000156 grams?

Geez, 468 grams, what a haul!!

Kate ~ I doubt you'd know him; he died in 1955!

<3

I'm not going to the Tattoo this year but, I've got loads of tickets for shows at this year's Edinburgh Festival, including the Australian dude from The Last Leg.....
