I blame Lewis's for my claustrophobia. I was in one of their old-fashioned lifts, with the metal grill gates, along with my mum and a dozen other people when it started playing up. I was at the screaming stage (much to my mother's embarrassment) when it started working again. I was only about 9 at the time.
Oh i hated those lifts !

There were some brilliant shops - I remember my mum had cards for a couple of the warehouse places in town and saved up their stamps, we'd go a big expedition in to spend the stamps every summer
Shops I remember when I started shopping on my own were Sesame ( a wee hippydippy place) and what every's !

Horrible things.
ohh, and Radar , a wee shop in the Virgin Megastore , spent all my wages in there
Woolworths! I remember being in Woolworths with my mam when they sold clothes and had manequins (sp) on the shop floor. My mam was looking at something next to the manequin......walked away and said.......she'll know me the next time

We used to get Ladybird dressing gowns every Christmas from Woolies.
Having spent the last hour Googling bliddy Glasgow I came across this picture.The shop on the lefthand side is Grants and I remember that shop ,my mum bought her suite from Grants.( But not in Glasgow,maybe it's a different Grants.
