I remember them . I worked in the hairdresser's next to the Granada and used to go and get our rolls there just across from the shop. The rolls were wonderful.One of the brother's used a machine that pressed down on the rolls when they were cooked. First time I had saw them being done like this.Small things like that stick in your mind. The brother's were very nice people i can't remember ever seeing the sister Linda that you speak about.

Hi Paul, I remember that street well; Used to walk along Janefield street,past the Celtic park and cross Springefield road and go to Burgher street on my way to Parkhead cross. I remember there was a small shop there and the gentleman repaired watches.Perhaps you remember him. I used to go there often and speak to him and his wife. Later he had a little stall in the market in the city centre.

What a waste of lives wars are.All that youth that sleeps. God Bless them all. The lovely flowers of the forest.
Because of brave men like that,we live today. Free.

Hi Patrick, I used to go swimming at Whitevale baths too :-) After work a few girls at the office would go there and come out and cross the road to the wee chip shop and get a few big penny onions and fritters with tomato,and brown sauce and walk home to Camlachie feeling great. Oh HAPPY DAYS! My dad made the BEST fritters in the world!!The chip shops were good but i always told him and this pleased him always your fritters are to die Da! XXXXXXXXXX

My god,WHAT A POSTCARD PHOTO Charlie!! LOVE IT!!!! Oh such WONDERFUL times,this postcard brings. i remember many times in all the different places on the photo; Learning to do Scottish country dancing with someone that I think you might remember holywell37 Jim Lamb ;-) can you imagine him doing country dancing at the community centre,but this he did John for me .-) The swing park where we spent many happy hours,my darling mother,aunt,and my wee sister Yvonne. The football and leg in the paving stones,the old jail that frightened me,the hall next to it for jumble sales,and baby prizes for the most lovely one.!Every baby is the that SPECIAL one) the Camlachie bridge. the wee fruit shop under the bridge where i bought my frozen jubilles. and last but not least the iron railings that I hung on to from Fielden street at the gents toilets ,I would start there to the old jail hanging on like grim death. I am afraid of heights and i would do this everyime not looking down i went to my mum and dads and visited my grandmother. our grandmother Charlie.
Thank you for that photo,a REAL TREASURE

Pleasure to look again today and see the old pub The General Wolfe. Wee bit weepy today. Brings back my youth,especially the little cafe just beside it. My parents and family lived just across from it in Fielden street.Please contact me if you knew them. John McDonald and Madeleine Cowan known as big Jack and Madge. They lived at 4 Fielden street. I would be so very grateful for any news of them or my family that lived at 4 Fielden street. My email is the following ladybird@worldonlne.fr
Thanking you so very much.

Dear Charlie, Sorry to be late in getting back to you.
I would like now to recommend to you the reading of the book la grande guerre by Pierre Miquel. Pierre Miquel is an historian who is considered as a specialist here in France of World War I. I know his book has been translated into English under the name of The World War I so if you are interested yes,try to find this book ( I think you could find this book on Amazon.uk.com) Pierre Miquel also wrote the following book : les oubliƩs de la Somme but I don't think that book has been translated into English. If you can read French Charlie,I would be delighted to send it to you.

My husband,who also is very interested in War History, watched these two films.He recommends them to anyone like himself interested in war history.Both of them treat the problem of desertion.

pwm437 that really moves me what you done with your nameplate. I wish thatI had thought and been able to to do that. What a TREASURE your nameplate must be for you. Janefield sreet was lot's of things for me HAPPY DAYS,and also VERY SAD days. We buried my dear grandparents from that house,my only darling sister,and my dear father.Also a home that i brought my only child to show my proud parents. Always thrilled to come home to that house and always so sad to leave when i returned to France. Look after and take care of your nameplate from that street and what it means for you,and the darlings in your life that lived there with you.Who made it the WONDER YEARS for....you.

Hello,pwm437 i never lived up the same close as he person you mentioned . The name I am still trying to remember. Long time ago, pwm437. I find that i am starting to forget street names and peoples names more and more. All the questions that i should have wanted to ask and never asked my darlings,when they were alive. :-( Makes ME SAD :-(

I never knew that John,that you had moved over to the other square.Mum and Bette stayed there too till the buildings were pulled down. they were never the same after that. They missed so much just living above each other ,and all the neighbours up the close. It was like having a wee family in the square.

Dear pwm437, Thanking you so very much for your message. Well my family lived at 98 Janefield street.
My parents were Madge and John McDonald, and my aunt was Betty Cowan who both lived at 98 Janefield street. Before moving to 98 Janefield street,my parents lived at 86 Janefield street. did you know them?.
No dear pwm437, i don't think that my parents ,or aunt had newspapers delivered at home.might be wrong?

When I was at Camlachie school,i won a prize for his poem of Tae a mouse. since the past few days and the photos of sweet Mrs mcgoo, I am thirsty to read his works. i agree with you Daisy ,i don't always understand what his words truly mean, but with time and thought,I hope that i can step inside his world and understand his wise words,and be a better and wiser person with them and move on with what is left of my life.Nothing to lose,everything to gain. Bravo ! dear Robert Burns,for walking this earth,I lift my hat to you with PRIDE of being Scottish like you.You were a great and very wise man.Scotland is so very proud of you.I thank you so very much.
Amethyst.
