[@magamaga1827]

Watching all the old timers makes me feel sad for my old man who is now 88 himself and is an Irish immigrant living in NYC (qeens) since the 1960s. Our "local," which was a mixed Irish and Italian neighborhood, always had a bunch of old timers from the area in the pub having a few but over the years they've all passed away and my dad is basically the only one left so he no longer goes up to the pub anymore and just sits home. I wish he'd just go back to Ireland so he could be with his own peeps again. No Irish left in NYC.

[@bawsack69]

There's not many left in Ireland either

[@LeahDyson-kq4bd]

I was gonna say I didn't know there were any Irish immigrants left in NY there were some in Bronx near fordham or whatever my dad played rugby and gaelic football around there

[@magamaga1827]

@@LeahDyson-kq4bd Wow. Yes, I we used to go to Gaelic park years ago in the 80s. I think it's actually still open believe it or not. Probably one of the last few Irish things left in the Bronx. You still have some Irish left in Yonkers/Woodlawn. A lot of the bars on McClean ave would have some Irish old timers but even those would be mostly Hispanic Americans along with a few White Americans under 40. Even the Irish bars in Manhattan and Queens are closing left and right. Places like Woodside/Sunnyside. Nothing left. The immigration act of the late 1960s really killed off all European immigration to America. Where I grew up and still live in North Flushing, formerly Italian/Irish/Jewish, is almost now entirely foreign born Chinese. They seem to be the only ones with the money to buy these homes. Where it comes from, I have no clue.

[@MurrayMcMillan73]

Outside my work at the Carnock, Greenock Fire Station- never been in there either. You should come back and go to Gourock, do the pub crawl from the Cardwell to Spinnaker, now that’s a good night oot- and crash at the Spinnaker, amazing breakfast the next day too.

[@correctimundo]

If you had just gone 5 minutes down the road to Gourock, you can do a fantastic pub crawl with several pubs within minutes if not seconds of each other! I've a feeling you would have loved the Kempock Bar! Glad you liked the Comet - not many places like that left now. . .

This was excellent, really enjoyed it, very honest and up front. Refreshing to watch an English mans perspective on working class pubs in Scotland. Only thing I would recommend is more interaction with the locals, they don't bite, but not everybody is comfortable doing that. Look forward to watching more episodes. Not all working class pubs are across the street from broken windows, I agree with you on the pub with Caledonia Best, when you are less important to the barperson than her phone. Looking forward to the pubs you pick in the city 🤣 I've got some stories.

They called themselves Port Glasgow to attract the ships to the town instead of further up the Clyde at Govan dock. Bit of a trick. There used to be a bit of a rivalry between the area and Glasgow before Glasgow became what it is now. The municipal building In Greenock was also built slightly higher than the one in Glasgow city centre as another kind of one up on them. Greenock in the 1800s was the wealthiest place on the Clyde due to the ships docking and the trade. In the end Glasgow won and were still paying off the tower we built to one up them 😂😂😂😂😂 Glad you finally made it up to my wee hometown. At one time it was a proud place to live.
