Some departments had zero Firsts year after year. Now some of them hand out 40% Firsts. Trying to acquire some understanding of anything, with nothing to help you but unreadable books and articles, in a system where people were perfectly happy to fail you and nobody cared if you were upset, was all quite something.

      Thank you for those kind words. As a kid I lived at Abbotsford Place, Gorbals, and when I went to visit the area in 87, looked like a bomb had hit the place. There was nothing left except for my old Abbotsford School. I live in Canada, and often like to go back to dear old Glesga to see my sister and her family. That film was one of the many film to video transfers I do as a business. It's all wonderful nostalgia.

      @@dopesensi The SNP has RUINED Scotland and the real kick to the head is they walk away with a almost clean sweep of 50 +plus seats at election times.
      The numbers don't add up?
      Consider how many people are in Scotland then consider how many are eligible to vote?, Then how many people ACTUALLY bother to vote then split the votes up between all the political parties. So where does the SNP get all this so called support from?
      Not that many people ARE actually voting for them but the SNP keeps making claims that they "speak for the people of Scotland". NO They bl0000dy well DON'T!
      And they certainly DON'T have the right to dictate to the rest of the UK.
      Nigel farrage got more votes down south than Scotland has eligible voters in the first place by but the reality denier's in the SNP think that they can stop Brexit, spend like crazy with NO results, have Hospitals fall apart, roads and infrastructure fall apart, immigrants flood in, no prospects for the advancement of society and they still think they are "winning"
      Why has Nicola Sturgeon, Alex salmond, the SNP and that Green party "harvie" guy who backs them up not been investigated?

      But now that YOU have brought it up, do you know that Govanhill is an absolute "hell hole" that resembles something from a third world Country which is unacceptable considering that it's Nicola Sturgeon's constituency.
      R@pes are happening more.
      Junkies are fighting with the immigrants for the best begging spots in the City centre also.
      People are getting in to real trouble with landlords because of this, that and the other.
      At least back in the 90's to early 2000's, people had hope for a brighter future and what was there in Glasgow at the time was good enough.

    The "magnificent building" you mentioned in George Square? Well, it became what it is because the plans orginally were drawn up to be for the new Co-operative Headquarters. Those plans however were rejected by the powers that be in the Cooperative. Instead, they chose the blue prints put forward by another architectural company for a building that be would become the Cooperative Headquarters. Many decades later, The Co-op Headquaters building was eventually sold, and it's outstanding features were incorporated into the private residential apartments one can see to this day.
