Gosh. When we got milk in primary it was pyramid shaped cartons in an orange bin thingy.

[@colinburrowes8063]

I remember the bottled milk being warm and curdled, horrible.

[@alfiekelly5914]

@@colinburrowes8063 I've always hated milk, so I pretended to drink mine! Not as bad as blancmange for school dinners. And lumpy custard

[@1gerard47]

I couldn't touch any of the three,dumped the milk oot the windae in the corridor till the jannie complained, then I had to drink it in front of the teacher ,hate milk to this day at age of 62.

It's good to recall happy memories.

Someone else also appreciates the photo of Calder Street. The houses pictured always looked distinguished, I think on account of their neat grey sandstone blocks. Other houses in the area had the usual red sandstone. I went to the nearby Victoria Primary School, now demolished, and I remember this view well. Great to be reminded of it. Many thanks!

Thanks for the Calder Street photo Colin. Its taken at the junction with Hickman Street. You can see my gran's flat at No. 363. I think those flats were built late 1920's and I think the photo may have been taken not long after. The Glasgow Kiss shot could easily be mistaken for one of Robert Doisneau's Parisian photos.

[@charlieconnelly5514]

Caught me with the Glasgow Kiss 😉

for working-class people who lived through those times what they have now is like living in a space station in comparison, cold water flats 2 up 2 downs, shared outside toilets, no carpets, fridges, freezers, vacuums, TVs, phones, no winter coat, holes in shoes, empty pantries, boiling pans of water to fill tin baths in front of the coal fire, not that long back, kids today couldn't begin to understand that just 50 years back day to day life was a struggle for millions of working-class people, they were cold, hungry, miserable and it seemed like it would never end, thanks to labour and the TUC it did, forget the SNP, they are thieving charlatans selling out the Scottish people,

My mum would of been 2yrs old in 55 she was born in Maryhill cedar street she passed 2020 and before she passed I would show her all the pics and post on Glasgow

[@colinburrowes8063]

The old pics take us back to the happy days of our past.

@@colinburrowes8063 it definitely did loved seeing her face and she would say can you find such and such street or school her first job at 16 was in the Enoch hotel as a receptionist

[@colinburrowes8063]

I remember the St Enoch hotel from my childhood, it was a beautiful imposing building, it should have been preserved. I often waited for the bus back to Toryglen, with my mum, in St Enoch Square, and your mum would have been working away in the hotel.

Bath time looks like the baths in govanhill

[@brecklander]

Not sure it is. The windows at the end don't look right.

The Rangers team with three trophies handsome with a nice new kit Celtic team looking like the cast of fraggle rock with the daily Record stuffed down they're socks

[@alfiekelly5914]

1967 though. Wee bit different. I'm really surprised that nobody seems to remember that Rangers got to the Cup winners cup final that year. Scottish football was on the map. Whatever happened to us?

[@therealisation5500]

@@alfiekelly5914 I think that Ranges and Celtic kid themselves on that they're great European clubs they're not even the best European club in Scotland yes Rangers have had some success in the lower level but I didn't doubt Celtic would do reasonably well as well my commitment was just for a laugh a bit of banter

[@alfiekelly5914]

@@therealisation5500 Absolutely buddy. Aberdeen are the only Scottish club with 2 European trophies.

[@jboyle4832]

What a lot of shite ffs

[@tatata1543]

The man front and centre in the Celtic team is the great Jimmy McGrory, the man with the best scoring record in British football who scored 550 goals in 547 games. I guess those Daily Records in his socks weren’t too much of a handicap.

[@jimmcintosh9045]

What no photos of the Clyde?!

Writing is on the wall,the we man is predicting that celtic are going to win the league 2024.😂
