- Memories of olden times that bring a tear to the eye, like sawdust fi a passing Anderson's lorry.

Oi! Nooooooooo!
I read in the paper the other day that "flares are making a comeback". Again? Did people learn nothing from the 1970s trousers wars? Here are some photos why flares should never, EVER, be worn again.
Ah presume yer referin tae the Brian May/Motorheid groupy in the foregroond, as you can clearly see that both Lorne and Mrs Det are wearing trousers of average flariness. Well below european regulations in fact.
Wi regairds ti the first foaty - is that u Nev, n wha else? Am trying ti hink whaur that foaty wis tain fi anaw- the library? Wis it eftir the Shows? Mair details required please!
Unfortunately, I haven't the foggiest who is in the photo. It came in a box of photos I inherited. As to the locus, isn't it just behind where the old Salvation Army used to be? It must be from a Fair because, apart from the coconut the guy has, there are other photos in the batch from about the same era in the Viewforth carpark. I have tonnes of these anonymous photos.
This site wis set up by a group i bored thirtysumhings who grew up thegithir in Bo'ness, a quaint former whaling port and mining town oan the banks i the Michty River Forth windin thru the Glens i Scotland. The site is carefully worded in the Bo'ness dialect - please let us ken (know) if u canny understaun it afore breengin in. Be shair ti look it the comments under each poast - they are usually funnier than the stuff we pit up, and feel free ti poast yir ain!! We especially want ti hear fi aw they local petrochemical 'workers' who dae nuhin bit read this site n watch porn oan the nicht shift, in between turning a couple i valves n takin a fly heid doon.
