gershammers 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 bridgeton, saltcoats, edinburgh, govan, larkhall, loads of glasgow ones too. we heard that the old bill were trying to avoid sandy row because there were just so many of us there. apparently this year they were meant to try to stop folk drinking in public what a pathetic thought that was!!
