Blast From The Past!

Going back to Lockerbie... which Dutch superstar player ended up as a guard back in the Netherlands keeping an eye on the "Lockerbie Bomber" when he was awaiting trial? Clue - he drove a 2CV.

I preferred when different areas and cities had different looks, even the buses,

Glasgow was multi coloured

Western was black and white

Aberdeen (Grampian) was green

Northern Bluebird was Yellow

Edinburgh was maroon

Western were red.

 

Now everywhere is the same crap First grey. Used to feel you had gone somewhere if the buses were different colours.

Was saying to someone a few days ago would it not make sense to colour code buses?

Local buses one colour, intercity or another town another colour and long distance etc?

Instead the same colour bus comes and everyone looks over straining to see the number.

Going back a bit further, this website has a ridiculous number of photos of Glasgow "back in the day".

Would be great if it was a bit more searchable by area / year, but there is a lack of beggar / chooser synergy.

I absolutely love shit like that.  That's my day fucked now.

Aberdeen has an equivalent that I also rather like looking through, particularly trying to work where the random pictures were taken.

Sorry, I should have said.  I absolutely love shit like that, but only for places that are worthwhile.

:P
