No-one ever talks about the three-mile tailbacks caused by people slowing down on the M8 to watch this. You have no idea how pissed off I was to be stuck in that.

[GhostReconGuy]

I was going to school one morning and i usually walked past the plumbers and the doors were open.

I thought someone had got in and set fire.

that was after the chimneyheads fell through the roof .......

[FearOfFalling90]

they rebuilt that close. its now YWCA accomodation.

[MNOEL22]

i know it's makes you wonder if the workmen on the building next to it planned it as a few week's later the new foundation's were being laid ????

[FearOfFalling90]

yeah it is strange. most decrepit buildings or wastelands in this town stand for ages before anything is ever built in their place (how long has that burnt out tenement on Wellmeadow Street been left to rot). wonder what makes Argyle Street an exceptional case...

[GhostReconGuy]

i was at the libary when this started, the roads were closed and everything, about a few hours before i saw the doors where the place used to be open

[MNOEL22]

glad it brung back a memory,from what i could remember the smoke could be seen for mile's even the glasgow m8

[GhostReconGuy]

wonder if that guy dressed in white was me......did the guy in white have glasses?

[MNOEL22]

i still have the original full video tape so i can check back for you and let you know later in the week

[porky9999]

[MNOEL22]
