You're right Gallus Moll. Words such as 'glaikit' and 'dreich' are brilliant for exactly describing stuff for which the English vocabulary has no equivalent. I also like 'flair' for floor and 'greetin' for crying. On my first day as a young teacher in Glasgow I was confronted by a very plump woman trying to explain, "See him Miss? He's no comin' tae skewl the day hain. He's at hame lying on the flair greetin'!" I could only nod weakly and pretend I'd understood.

I was in Glasgow from 1970 until 1976, then left to go down to Norfolk. I'd spent 10 years in Edinburgh before that. (Completely different environment!)
I remember the Third Eye Centre (Sauchiehall Street?) but none of the others ring a bell. I lived off Byres Road and also in Caird Drive (Pairtick!)

Apologies to all for this unforgivable thread drift!
