[Closed] Glasgow Fair

Just a day off, really. No more drinking than is normal for a weekday 😉

Bygone era trade holiday, not many people take it now.

However given that the suns oot, it'll be tapps aff and busy pubs 😀

Aye, long since gone, paisley Kilmarnock etc had fairs as well, basically all big industrial towns did.

Surely similar periods must gave existed in the north and Midlands?

As said, it's an old holiday, normally works would start their 2 weeks off today, but that's long gone. these days, it's just bank holiday equivalent of the english early august? bank holiday.

Made good use of it myself, cobwebs blown away, 27 miles yesterday, 32 miles today, weathers been great! 🙂 I'm probably gonny hurt a bit the morra. 😆

Thanks Ben, not the correct answer!

Big holiday in my part of the world was last week and relates to the Bonfire thread that I've avoided on purpose. Suppose I'll just go watch Linfield on Weds 😀

Should I be going on the lash to support the locals?

The locals, traditionally, will be on the lash in Blackpool today

What? Is Saltcoats suddenly not ****ing good enough?

Blackpool?
