We use to get this in 1/3 pint bottles, especially in the summer. Only good thing Thatcher did stopping the torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dug Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Picture of a Tar works explosion in the Falkirk/Camelon area in 1973. Love the expression of the guy sitting on the pipes as the barrels fire past him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his copyright expertise, you'd imagine he has DC Thompson's permission for his username and avatar.

Black Dug Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Knowing Falkirk. He was probably flattened and the bloke in the photo nicked his camera. Aye, but he'd be able to buy it back if he went for a pint up in the Hurlett! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always think it’s mental that Grangemouth had an airport. That ugly industrial estate is all that’s ever been there in my lifetime. Well, until they put that plane on a plinth next to the roadside a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess they’re probably just warehouses. Found this one as well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Inspired by an earlier beer mat post. Old uncle died this week. Dealing with his stuff, on his coffee table he’s got a few cardboard beer mat / coaster things. He spent many years working at BP Grangemouth. Now, please bear in mind that these things have an average life expectancy of about a day and a half in the average boozer.... I give you the 42 year old beer mat....

Found this one as well: Oran had at least one of them (the one closest to the BP garage is) for a recycling processing plant. But haven't been down that way for a while.

Not sure how I forgot cos the rancid stench off that site was unforgettable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
