@CapnPatriot @Murk441 Some of these places now ask for a tip also which is ripping the pish out of it

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@Murk441 If I see a sign like this in any place then I’m going elsewhere…

@GlasgowCC Glasgow City Council - doing to Glasgow what the Luftwaffe failed to do

@drabdulhameed07 Looks like tar… something oily should remove it or an alcohol like IPA or rubbing alcohol

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@STVNews Oh boo hoo @NicolaSturgeon maybe don’t pretend your husband isn’t a lying thief and then it won’t come back to bite you…

@MZora0419 That’s a parachute she’s carrying in case he gets all gropey again

@irnbru You used to lead the way on reusable glass bottles and moved to the dark side with your single use plastics. Can you at least offset this by doing a deal with @sodastream in 2026 so that those who love the environment can still enjoy @irnbru ?

@EastEndJoe Trying to squeeze out a jaggy jobby. I feel for the lassie, we’ve all been there…

@NigelPickering8 @StuartYoung001 @GBNEWS Not mileage done only while in UK…

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@GlasgowCC @dj_forrester Yeah it’s kind of hard at present in the west end to “wheel or cycle” anywhere with all the rubbish and debris on the roads, pavements, gullies and cycle lanes. When fitting those silly armadillos no one really though about how a road sweeper was going to clear the cycle lanes…

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@GlasgowCC What’s the difference between wheel and cycle? Do you mean drive and cycle, implying that you perhaps might fix some potholes? Or is it just some made up phrase to try to placate the masses, by virtue signalling to the minority?

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@NormanBrennan @TommyAtkins1939 Not true. People are charged all the time since they cannot be forced to say anything about it unless they’ve been read their rights. The charges can be dropped though.

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@psus24 @MartinSLewis Well said. Have them on my doorstep too. Cash in hand workers driving better cars than people paying their way and supporting the 40%. Usually respect Martin’s views and comments but way off this time…

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@MartinSLewis Oh great, another millionaire telling working people who are struggling to afford the basics to show more compassion. Many people’s compassion has been squeezed out of them when they are working as hard as they can and no better off than those who are not, for whatever reason.

@GC_Archives It's also possible that the archive number of 1883 is actually the year number that was mis-interpreted...

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@GC_Archives This is definitely not Dumbarton Road and Keith Street - it is Dumbarton Road and Orchard (now Vine) Street. And it's not c.1910 since this corner was developed between 1882 and 1888, so possibly c.1886

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@travelingman88 @GlasgowCC @GlasgowFPP Sounds about right. Incompetent tossers making shiny new plans that are never fully thought through.

[John Smith @JohnSmith_LT]

@GlasgowCC @GlasgowFPP Utter shite. I’ve been on an allotment waiting list for 12 years and there are still over 100 people in front of me and local allotments lying like waste ground because you do feck all to enforce anything. But then you can’t even empty bins properly, so…
