Re: ARDROSSAN - PUBLIC TELEPHONE BOXES

Believe it or not your island was featured on a travel show here, Globetrekkers. It was fascinating. I believe it all too easily, Morag! I lived in Ardosssan for twenty-five years and was never on TV once. I've been here for eight and I've done at least six interviews and even been screened singing...

Re: Swine Flu - Big worry for travellers

Unlike other influences which for the most part attack the ill and elderly, this new strain attacks the fit, young and healthy. Just like the so-called Spanish 'flu which devastated what was left of Europe in the wake of WWI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu" onclick="window.open(...

Re: ARDROSSAN - PUBLIC TELEPHONE BOXES

Wow! That was very well worked out! Spookingly well. You're not into spyware, are you? :D Strange to think you were here a few years ago passing my door (as everyone has to - you've seen the size of the place!) and us being former neighbours, or at least so I think. I've been trawling the archives h...

I can't find any trace of it on the net, so I'm guessing that it folded before the net became popular. Names I remember from the early '80s : Marshall Lambie (Corrie Crescent) President - a grand ...

I remember two red telephone boxes side by side beside the bus stop across the road from the Post Office on Glasgow Street. Can't remember if there were any inside as I can only remember going in there once. There was another in Ailsa Gardens half way round the semi-circle of grass there. Clyde Terr...
