Yes she does. She talks about it all the time. She said that before the Coronation tram (that type of tram had a seat and door), the trams she drove had no seat (she stood all the time), or door, so the weather just came in. She has albums full of great photos, but I can't find them at the moment. They had a nickname for at the time, it was Miss Smiles, because she always smiled and had a nice personality. She was also a very attractive woman and highly intelligent. She also did some modelling for a catalogue at the time. My mother drove the number 9, so she could be driving the one in your video.@@colinburrowes8063
Glasgow used to be so beautiful. There were so many buildings and areas unnecessarily demolished by the city father's at the time. Glasgow is an absolute midden today.
@@JohnnysCafe_ I agree. I don't even know half of my neighbours and hardly recognise anybody in the street anymore. I didn't notice community spirit when I was a wee boy as like all kids I was busy playing with my pals but looking back now there was community spirit in abundance and I don't see, feel or sense any in today's Glasgow.
Thank the lord I got myself out of those filthy tenement & studied hard . Who in their right minds would want to live in a room & kitchen no bathroom? I much prefer my 3 bedroom home & garden & car etc
This is the city I was born and grew up in, gives brings me sadness to know this Glasgow has gone but I have the happy memories. Does anyone else remember the busses that upstairs was for smokers and if you went up when it was full the smoke was thick, smell of sulphur from matchsticks striking and people were coughing whilst they sucked down more smoke, empty Embassy, woodbine,Park drive, Bristol and Players No6 fag packets all over the floor .😅 I laugh when I think back how crazy that was..
My mum was born and raised in Glasgow I remember her telling me the stories and her first job was at the Enoch as a receptionist Ruby I miss you so much 😊
I was born in Duke street Hosital in 67. Lived in Corsock st and moved to Ruchazie. Loved the 80s and then left to join The army. 1 RHF. I watched these films and they brought back memories.
growing up in glasgow in the late 60's, early 70's this is how i remember old glesga men, wee guys with bunnets and raincoats and black thick rimmed glasses, one thing from my childhood i hav'nt seen in years was guys wearing one BIG black high surgical boot as they limped along the road
@@Carolinel673I think everyone got the message, you've got a house and a car. Good for you, it must be great being the only person who ever achieved that.
So sad to see how Glasgow is now. We used to have a good tram system in the city then it was ripped up for diesel/petrol transportation....now everyone is banging on about electric cars'n buses...this would cost millions to get back to a tram system. Where did it all go wrong. I lived in Zurich for 20 years and they still have the old tram/electric buses , cars and cycle lanes in the city... Some things have improved but I wouldn't go into the city for a night out anymore.
Those who have made the decisions have tried to save money in the short term, and ignored the future. I think the answers to our problems lie in the past.
No it wasn't. But the SNP are most corrupt bunch of hateful idiots one could imagine. At this point I don't care who anyone votes for but for the love of God PLEASE help your fellow human beings by not voting SNP.
