You have done more to put Bridgeton on the map than the 2014 games will ever do...
...believe me.....Your
site gives us the Bridgeton that we all remember and love....but time
cannot stand still...and yet it does in the hearts
Of anyone who moved
away....by choice or otherwise from a time when we all were poor and
didn't realize it...because of true friends and caring neighbours who
maybe had less than ourselves....but gladly shared the little they had
without a second thought...Now these are the Experiences that no amount
of money can purchase...Thank you Wull...Sincerely....Helen Chalmers |

..........one day my
brother told me of this site and I thought I would see what all the fuss
was about. Absolutely love it, cried, laughed and had many lumps in my
throat of the great memories you have given me.

Wow, Ive been sitting here
for 5hrs now going thru your fantastic site. I lived @ 30 Landressy St
from birth in 1962 until 1969 attended John St Primary for 2 years. This
site is filling in hazy wee bits in my mind of things I saw and people I
meet as a wee boy, that honestly I was starting to think I had only ever
imagined. Ive never had the chance to come back yet but I will soon! |

January 2006, Rita Murray, Aged 58, Dumbarton,
Scotland
Found this website after
watching BBC's Jeremy Paxman tracing his family tree to 9 Ardenlea
Street.
I lived there until i was six with my Mum, Dad and sisters. Was even
more surprised to see a photograph of myself and classmates at
Springfield Rd Primary in 1953. What a great website !! |
January 2006, Richard Tod, Aged 55, Northampton,
England
I have not laughed so much
in a long time. Sitting alone at my computer 9 o'clock in the evening
with my wife shouting up the stairs to see if I'm OK.
Lots of memories, some good, some bad. Lots of friends, some good some
bad. Lots of adventures, some good, some bad. A life I would not wish on
my children but an experience that made me who I am and I am proud to
say I'm from Glesga!
Thank you for the site. Thank you for reminding me that my roots are
deep and strong and that what we see as hardship today is less than a
midgie bite in comparison. |

I have always kept visiting your site,Wull. its a credit to you,
its wonderful for a person like me who left Glasgow in 1949 to do my
national service, to be able to rekindle memories so vividly with the help
of your site. My schools were Tureen Street, Annfield(Cubie street) and
John Street senior secondary

....this site is the best!! I was having the time of
my life singing all the songs we used to sing as kids out in the street. Talk
about a walk down memory lane. I came to Canada 31 years ago when I
was 17 years old, and I haven't returned to Scotland in 29 years... One of
these days I would love to go for a visit, and show my children where I
grew up! Great site, and I love the patter.... Glaswegians are the best!!
(still have the accent even after all these years!)

brought up with such wonderful people.thank-you wull for your labours

June. 2005, John Swinburne, Michigan, USA, age
58
Your site has brought joy and tears, perhaps more tears of joy to
this former resident of Bridgeton ...I was nine years old when we made
that long boat trip to America. God bless all of you who hail from that
little corner of the world. My greatest fear was that I would marry a girl
like Daphnie Broon, but was fortunate enough to fall in love and have 5
children with more of a Maggie Broon type. Thanks for the memories.
John.

might suffer a serious injury (like a burst gut) from laughing. Brilliant

.......... Just to say thanks to the Webmaister and this brilliant website
for two things... An old china of mine, now living in Spain had lost my
address. His daughter spotted my wee spiel about the Olympia cinema,
contacted the Webmaister, who checked with me that it was ok to pass my
e-mail address to her...and pleased to say, my auld pal and I are back in
contact. Also, a distant cousin of mine (very distant - she's in
Australia), contacted me after seeing my stuff on here. So cheers,
Webmaister - thanks for a brilliant, entertaining site and for bringing
family and friends together. Lang may yer lum reek.

I have only recently discovered this website, I don't know when I last
laughed so much at the "Glesca Stories" or enjoyed looking
at all the old photographs. It really is excellent! Well done!
|
May.2004, Peter Mackay, New Zealand
What it is about Scotland and all things Scottish that brings a lump to
my throat? I have only to think about Glasgow Green, or the Arcadia
Picture House, or the Barras and a nostalgic tear flows. I pore over
Wull's website and lap up the goodies: the old black and white
photographs, the old tenements with their rich character, and the tales
and stories from my ain folk. Aye, my ain folk.
|
May.2004, Margaret Graham, South Africa
This site is "PURE DEAD BRILLIANT" Makes you really
homesick. Scotland will always be my home. No nation has a sense of humour
like the Scots.

Nice to see a site devoted to my home city. Been away for years - and
suffered homesickness as a result. Thought I was 'smart', looking for
rainbows, only to realise that Glasgow is the best place on earth.
I was born in Bridgeton....
|
Feb.2004, Angus Begg, Aberdeen, Scotland, age
51-60
I have just finished going through GLESGA PALS.Both my mum and dad were
born in the east end of Glasgow and often used to tell us about the
poverty they endured as kids in the tenements of Bridgeton. However they
both held a great sense of warmth and humour throughout their life
and i often thought as i got older that this was created from their early
years in the slums. Your site is excellent!!!
|
Jan.2004, Nancy McLaren (nee Geddes), Canada
Just to let you know: I've found my friend after 35 years. Thank
you so much. After all this time I had been looking in the wrong town.
Appreciate your web site. I will add a few names to the Queen Mary St
school pictures, as soon as I find my own picture, as I wrote some names
on the back. I will be looking and hoping I hear from some more old pals,
Thanks

A fantastic site but then it is the work of
a Glaswegian what else could we expect. The only problem is once on.... the
hours go by and nothing else gets done!
|
Nov.2003, Raymond Ward, England, age 31-40
Love your site have come across it in a
websearch looking for History about Glasgow's East End. I was
looking for items which could be used to create learning material for my
students to use. and to tell you that this site is full of personnel
points that can not be found in any book. Great keep up the good work.

Nov.2003, name withheld Canada,
....hello Wull, please find enclosed a money order, towards your costs,
which I send to you as a token of my appreciation for the wonderful forum

....fantastic website just found it, read about it in one of the
newspapers.... I've sent e-mails to friends to tell them about Glesca
pals,.I've been sitting here for 6 hours, I'm so happy to have
found you, I used to work on the buses, and just love the glesca patter,
your site is just my cup of tea you brought so many happy memories. Keep
up the great work Wull,.there's no place in the world like the Glesca
people…..support this great site!

Oct.2003, May Raudenbush nee Curran, USA,
Age 51-60
What a geat web. This was recommended by my niece. What a gift to show our
children instead of telling them stories I e-mailed this to them. My
father was from Savoy St. my mother Pentland Place. Grew up
in Carntyne. Spent a whole lot of time in Bridgeton more so the teenage
years.
My Da was a piper in the TA on Main St. Aren't memories the best. When
people ask if you could go back to being a teenager again would you ? I
say definitely. I had a great youth and enjoyed it. The laughter, ma pals.
All the places we hung out at. All the Glesca humor plus sarcasm.
Now come on every one where else can you find some one to give you that
look and come straight to the point. And lets face it we Glesca folk can
go all over the world and still be Gleswegians. We don't give our selves
enough credit but then again we don't have too, we know who we are.
Will, you have created a great site that has brought friends and
family together and laughter back to many lifes. And isn't technology the
bomb. Thank's for the MEMORIES as there are many.

Dear Loving Webmaister Wull
Some people drink coffee to start their day, but I need my fix of the
wonderful people on Board 2, so it's withdrawal symptoms for me.....You
should be very proud of yourself for being the Webmaister of this
great site. Marilyn xx
PS I'm thrilled to have received emails from Jim & Donna in Canada and
yesterday Jimmy & Esther in NZ were 'talking' to me via email. I
wouldn't have met these people if it hadn't been for your site.

Hi Wull I must tell you about my reunion with two old friends, thanks
to you printing a letter of mine, several months ago. I got an email from
this lady saying her friend, in Vancouver, had forwarded my letter to her
as she had worked in Templeton's the same time as myself & wondered if
she knew me.
It turned out that she was the person who trained me in my job in 1950.
Later, when I worked in the lab, her husband to be, worked beside me in
the Time Study Dept. I introduced them to each other & we lost touch.
They came to Canada in 1957..... us, in 1974. It turns out that they live
only 10 minutes away from us!That was a lovely reunion, I've found a
long lost friend, thanks to you.
Thank you, once again, for all your hard work, it's very much
appreciated by all of us homesick Glaswegians.
|
Aug.2003, Ian Robertson, Vancouver, Canada,
Wull,
as Webmaister, you have earned the respect of all. I hope GlescaPals
remains enjoyable for all its readers and that many more GlescaPals can
contribute towards its success for years to come....
.....
I think Wull will have to consider some sort of special recognition for
those born and educated in Brig'ton. Like an OBE, Order of Bridgeton
Eminence or the issue of a GlescaPals certificate that makes you an
official MBE. Like Member o' Bridgeton's Elite. But of course, with some
honorary membership for us outsiders!

Aug.2003, Helen Chalmers, Toronto, Canada,

I am constantly amazed at the entries you receive from the
four corners of the world.....It would seem that anyone born in
Bridgeton has been blessed with a sixth sense..somewhat like homing
pigeons.....No matter how far you travel from this little piece of
real estate called Bridgeton you have an inborn instinct to
return...whether it be by transportation, computer or just that longing
in your heart....I doubt if any other part of the world can boast of
such love and loyalty to their roots

the good work on a brilliant site." |
Mar. 2003, Bob Currie,
Strathaven, Scotland
having regard to your seeking remuneration for your
work. I consider it justified.
Initially, I glossed over the site and thought I could send a few kodak
moments thinking, I suppose, that each of us was doing the other a favour.
But of course I realise the time effort and skill that goes into a website
such as you are presenting. Well done! I wish I had the
ability...
....There are no adequate words of
appreciation on this site. Suffice to say 'fandabydozy'.

" What a wonderful web site. I thoroughly enjoyed reading through
the memory page, bringing back, as if it was yesterday, all the
memories of tenement living, school days, playing games, going to the
steamy with your mother's washing, being scared of your teacher. I shed a
few tears too for the days gone by where everything appeared to be so innocent.
I will enjoy reading it often and perhaps coming across friends from the
past. Thank you for that Best wishes Marion." |

" I can
understand the work you are putting into your site, and doing a great job,
you can tell that you love it, it does come across......I don't know if
you know the feeling that you give to people (especially ex patriots like
myself). A friend told me about your site and when I went in, I was so
absorbed and I got this wonderful warm feeling, just going back and
reading the comments and to know that there are others all over the world
who are trying to keep in touch, you are achieving this. it is my pleasure
writing this to you Wull, you deserve the praise. |

bubble.... I was born in Springfield Road...just at Dalmarnock
Road...now when I get homesick....I'll just go to this web site...thank you..." |

"I am an old ex pupil of Strathclyde Street and John Street
Secondary School. I was beginning to give up hope that schools in this
area were never showing up. I am delighted and find it very interesting as
there are some people who are in my age group and reading their messages
brought back a lot of memories. I have just returned from a visit to East
Kilbride and made a sentimental tour of the area. So much has changed but
they cannot take away the memories. I will be contacting some of the
messages I have read.................again thanks for this wonderful
website." |
