No legend, but a fact. It happened in Hayocks Road in Stevenston. Sometime around the late '50's I think.

Re: Coronavirus pandemic
Marcus Rashford for Prime Minister. Well done, son for convincing some-one with no brain to do something that is a no-brainer.

Re: Coronavirus pandemic
Meg,
I'm being pragmatic and maybe actually realistic.
As you said yourself, 'that's going to be worth investigating.'
Let's investigate before we assume we're just putting Scotland down again.

Re: Coronavirus pandemic
Meg, using a bit of lateral thinking, that could actually be bad news. It is an accepted fact that Scottish health, in general, leaves a lot to be desired. It could be that the actual level of health in Scotland is lower than that of the white, caucasian population in the rest of the UK, bringing it...

Re: buildings built and demolished in my lifetime
Stevenston had the pub at the top of Townhead St.; The Lonsdale ??? A whole row of houses in Lundholm Rd. has gone, as have several streets of prefabs at Greenhead Ave. Admittedly, these prefabs were not intended to be permanent. I seem to recall a petrol station in Caledonia Rd. that has also gone....

Re: George Floyd
Meekan; I shall take you to task about criminals and vandals. I have a notion that the people who pulled down the statue in Bristol were principled protesters who are scandalised, and have been for years, that such a personage should be put on a public pedestal, - bearing in mind the normal use of t...

Re: George Floyd
Got to have been done by an Englishman. :evil: Well, I suppose, at the end of the day, Robert was indeed a racist. He was agin the English, so that falls within the definition of the word. During the war, the population here in Holland, as was in Belgium, France, Denmark, Poland, etc., etc., were ra...

Re: George Floyd
The struggle has started here in Holland also, where the whole land is strewn with statues of our heros. Just to name three of the most famous, Piet Hein, Willem de Ruiter and Pieter Jan Coen. The first two were admirals and Coen was the Governor General of the East India Company. I could bore you w...

Re: George Floyd
Mekan, hi. the point I'm trying to make is that, for years, public opinion has been trying to make it clear that the situation is unacceptable. Thus, by definition, the 'lawful' procedure has not been successful; IE, it has been ignored by the powers that be, so, in my opinion, there is but one alte...

Re: George Floyd
Oh Brian, I wish. What I cannot understand is the genuine protesters allowing the anarchist cretins to take over their lawful and pertinent protest. Why do they, the genuine protestors, not conspicuously stand back from them, the rioters, and use their mobiles to record the identities of the rioters...
