Fairbairn Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I once ended up there by accident when I was heading to Garrowhill and got on one of the 'express' trains unaware that the first stop was Sunnyside - like Summerston, another inappropriately named place. To be fair it is preceded with the word "Coatbridge" so the warning is right there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flora MaDonald Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Is the Garngad near Haghill? Drove through it once, and all I saw were Irish tri-colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Is the Garngad near Haghill? Drove through it once, and all I saw were Irish tri-colours.Is the Garngad not Royston ? It was the same when I drove through - the M8 was a car park one Sunday so I headed off piste to keep moving. Big Derek (Jez's mate) is from the Garngad - now lives in Rouken Glen so he made good. Edit: The Garngad (it is now Royston) appears to be on the other side of the M8 from Haghill.

Orraloon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 My fella stays in the west end and says to me "do you fancy going down the town or up the west end"? I have a very skewed idea an the layout of Glasgow! I am fairly sure that is a euphemism. You and your fella should have a serious chat.

thewolf_1980 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 No that wasn't it.... After a day on the piss at my cousin's golf club in Pumpherston, I once got the slow train back from Uphall to Glasgow Queen Street via some weird and wonderful places that I had previously never heard of and which took over an hour. I had to get off at High Street and go to a pub over the road for a pish because ScotRail had omitted to provide a public convenience on said train and I simply could not make that extra one stop. I also therefore had to buy another pint because simply going in and out of a pub for a piss is very rude, in my opinion. I imagine your mythical place was on that route.

thewolf_1980 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I used to get the train from Hamilton Central to Argyll Street when I went to uni and, to this day, still don't really know where "Newton" is. Near the Scandinavianly sounding Drumsagaard, I understand. Anyway. I'm taking over the thread with my trainspotting. This is about wanky phrases. Apologies.

Flora MaDonald Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 don't really know where "Newton" is. Near the Scandinavianly sounding Drumsagaard, I understand. Every single train from Glasgow Central seems to go to / via Newton. It's like the Mecca of west Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be a big slogan of Free Garngad on a wall but that got knocked down years ago. Ma Granny used to live in Townhead and always said she was from the Garngad.
