Great as usual Colin. Love the rain bouncing off the pavement in the 1966 Buchanan St photo. Very diplomatic of you to put up both Celtic and Rangers photos although I did sometimes watch Clyde play at Shawfield and also managed to watch the last of the Third Lanark games at Cathkin Park as a child.

Thank you.

My dad was the janitor, at Dowanhill Primary School, in the early 'sixties.

13:45 in renfield st, you can see one of my old customers, DAS HAAR hairdressers. They had several shops over the town. Owned by a guy call dick Barton.

Did he own a pub, I think I've seen a photograph of a pub called Dick Barton's.

@@colinburrowes8063 not as far as I’m aware, we did the cash registers for all the hairdressers, he would have come to us for a pub till. His office was on Buchanan Street on the left hand side as you go down the hill opposite the underground station. He used to park his Porsche on the pedestrian part of the street & get a parking ticket every day. In those days you could only get a ticket once a day.

I managed to find a pic of Dick Barton's pub in the Gorbals, that was demolished in the early 60s. There's also mention of a Dick Barton who died in 2004, don't know if this is the same person.

@@colinburrowes8063 the dick Barton we had dealings with was in his mid 20’s in the early 80’s. I saw the pub from the 60’s , can’t be the same person.

Celtic Street...once the shortest street in Glasgow.
