well, I see that one went down like a lead baloon.
For those of you who didn't understand it, Robbie was eating a 'fish supper' from a newspaper, washed down with 'ginger', a Scot's term for fizzy sugary drink. Usually Irn Bru.
Another drink popular with Scot's youth is a brew made by monks in Buckfastleigh in Devon, so popular that a Haddows wine merchant had to put this sign on their door :-D

I think so, most of my memories of Glasgow nights are a bit Hazy, I did a regular run Computers to Paisley then Waste paper out of a place right near the Motorway just after it crosses the river, on up to Fort William tip the waste re load with Newsprint from fort william, down to hull then back up again, also ran Groupage out of Clydebank so picked up stuff all over the area and back down to Felixstowe dock every friday and head north again 2am monday morning to start again, If Bettys is where I think, I met some very interesting ladies in there on a number of occasions but always went back to the truck on my own, they were quite scary I seem to remember, used to get my Fish chips and Irn brue an toddle off to the Cab! Also had my first Glasgow Pizza near there, only place a chip shop would deep fry a Pizza. :-D :-D

Levenvale,
I'm sure I couldn't get away with the hole story, but a sanitised version follows:
Back in '77/'78 I worked for a plant hire firm in Barrhead, my mate Alan was the proprietor, and we were at the time running down his failing business. But that's another story.
I had some cash (a rare commodity for us) for a pair of pistons I'd ordered 'cod' for my 450 black bomber. They never arrived when expected, so we thought we'd put the cash to another (less noble) use.
Al' thought we'd go to Betty's for the crack, it was really his idea, I'd never been there before. We also took a mate, Gav', who at the time was like the second student in the 'big man' video earlier in the thread.
To cut a long story short, we three became four and adjourned to Alan's mum & dad's flat in south Nitshill with a curry and a kerry oot, where we stayed up all night playing cards.

Just had to add this.....
Here are some more jokes told by a droll Scottish comedian, the late Chick Murray:
I made a stupid mistake last week. Come to think of it, did you ever hear of someone making a clever mistake?
We've got stained glass windows in our house. It's those damned pigeons.
You know what they say about stamp collecting. Philately will get you nowhere.
I admit to spending a fortune on women, booze and gambling. The rest I spend foolishly
A Scot is a man who keeps the Sabbath, and everything else he can lay his hands on
So there I was lying in the gutter. A man stopped and asked '"What's the matter? Did you fall over?" So I said "No. I've a bar of toffee in my back pocket and I was just trying to break it."
This chap started talking to me about this and that - about which I know very little
My father was from Aberdeen, and a more generous man you couldn't wish to meet. I have a gold watch that belonged to him. He sold it to me on his deathbed. I wrote him a cheque for it, post dated of course.
