Like many readers i wonder whatever happened to the lost ironmongery of Grangepans? Along with the iconic anchor at Man O War Way, and the many gundies now sadly replaced with inferior stainless steel versions, one can only hope that it has been recycled and now adorns the entrance to a shopping mall in Dubai or Aby Daby.
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.
