Painted shop assistants who look down their noses.

Tubs of crams and potions that cost about £90

Candles that cost the earth

Shop seems empty - no cutomers and harldy any stock.

Am I missing something?

ScottishMummy · 05/01/2008 00:13

expatinscotland · 05/01/2008 00:15

i wound up there through no choice of my own and nope, no can do.

no wonder poor David Tenant bailed as soon as he could.

i'm surprised the guy didn't leave skidmarks.

geesuz, that place made me yearn for my mother's house and i tore out of there at warp speed in 1989.

ScottishMummy · 05/01/2008 00:23

what is Dishy Dave connection to paisley?

expatinscotland · 05/01/2008 00:26

apparently he was brought up in that sorry shithole, after being born in Bathgate - and it's a toss up as to which one is worse.

expatinscotland · 05/01/2008 00:30

nah, livingston. now there's Webster's definition of Hell on Earth .

if you ever need to explain the term 'ned' to someone, just drive that way on the M8.

ScottishMummy · 05/01/2008 00:32

d'ya think livi is worse than airdrie
Ned i love that expression

expatinscotland · 05/01/2008 00:35

now i've not been down airdrie way, but lemme tell you, i'll take rural-as-hell Argyll over the likes of Gourock, Greenock, Port Glasgow and Paisley any day.

my former boss was born in Greenock and brought up in Aberdeenshire.

she went to uni in Glasgow, but had been living in Edinburgh for about 6 years and never lost a chance to slag Greenock.

i wondered why.

thought she was exaggerating.

then i went there myself.

immediately sent her a text, 'U were rite and i was wrong!'

ScottishMummy · 05/01/2008 00:39

LOL
nice to hear from ye

expatinscotland · 05/01/2008 00:42

She kept telling us, 'It's a dump!'

I thought, 'How bad can it be?'

Bad, man. Really, really, fucking bad!

Before the Tesco in Gourock re-opened last month, us bumpkins in the Cowal had to go to the one in Port Glasgow.

Dh was packing up the shopping, blethering away with the checker, who noticed his East Coast accent.

So DH said, 'Aye, I'm from Embra.' To which the chap asked if there were much crime.

DH replied, 'Aye. Stabbings and fights and that.'

Chap: 'Oh, just like here, then.'
