melthebell Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 i used to go drinking in the peace gardens / fargate fountain etc in the late 80s / early 90s winos, tramps, punks, hippies, metallers, rockabillies, psychobillies, trendies, druggies and whoever else all hanging around together. all sat in groups of 5-20 people all sat on the grass, benches, throwing each other in the fountain in the sun just thinking about it tho it made me think what it would bldve been like in the 70s, 60s and earlier types of people sat around town having a beverige, where try and explain who youd see around town boozing (in the streets), where and put me in the picture to how itd have looked like then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickc Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Also there Mel, used to get supplies from International. If giro ran out sometimes "forgot" to pay! If you got bored you could always walk on to fargate and form a band! Happy times, but would die if I tried to live like that now. Besides, doubt if I could get up from the grass without assistance.

soft ayperth Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 No idea what it's like now, but West St used to be a lively scene on Friday and Saturday nights back in the '60s. Yes, eons ago. People would wander from pub to pub with their pints of beer. Must have been quite a cooperative spirit among the pubs as the glasses rarely wound up where the beer was purchased. been there, done that.
