Very interesting insights.

I remember being on his van many many time as a youngster going anywhere in shotts to Newarthill to family parties and hed come get you at all hours he was brilliant more reliable than any of the buses on the roads nowadays and in all weathers. Legend

What I will say is Cummins are c***s..I worked in cumbernauld..forced me for years to work through an agency, treated agency workers like second class and because you weren't a 'Cummins employee ' any grievance was considered irrelevant until you were a 'full time employee ' kleeky as f**k ...if u had a back bone to speak out..hell mend you ..fat Rab needs a good kickin..absolute w****r of a guy ..but was told.."craig we all know he he is bully, but he is protected by the union..fu*k Cummins...deliberately run under achieving to keep themselves in a job !!!! 💯 truth

😂

My father wasn't allowed to join because he was a Southern Irish Catholic.....bigots playing Quoits.

The two old men sitting on the bench ,the one the right is my uncle James or sheriff that was his nickname back then it’s good. To see the old faces again

John leckie ... What a guy

Its great to see how community meant so much back then and its sad to see how it seems it doesn't matter anymore

Used to walk past his house every night on my way to dykehead. Hitched a 20p lift now and again when we had missed thd last bus home. Many a time chessies were hunted in his ftont garden.

Just came across this video , I live in Shotts just now so it's good to look at this old footage , my parents were only one when this was filmed , it would be great if someone had more footage to upload

Jaundiced looking guy at 4:20 - "don't touch spirits, oh no no no"

Omg, so nice to see my dad, what a nice surprise ❤

Good to see the late great John Leckie again, a few of us took all the seats out of the empire in 72 i think it was.

cheers

John Leckie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

great laugh thank you does highlight how stupid a tv detector van is and how pie in the sky the whole concept is no tech has ever existed that can detect a received signal and a tv is a receiver not a transmitter and if you cant get your head around the tech side just ask yourselves why has evidence from a so called detector van never been used to prosecute for not having a tv licence that would surely act as a massive deterrent against non tv licence payment why ?because they have never, will never exists the only thing the bbc can detect is billy bull crap

Good God, I'm glad I don't live in GB

there not actually real there just a scare tactic sad.

It’s a reading light. Dunelm sell them.

is there any more? that was entertainment! way more enjoyable to watch than the shite on tv!

What a load of waffle

Hahaha what a load of shit stick your licence up your bbc arse 🤣

tv detecter vans were stoned in the early 70s in clovenstonr Edinburgh everytime they entered the scheme never came back

BBC wages.Gary Lineker and Zoe ball have to survive on just £5.000 a day not a week or a month, most presenters have to live on £1500 a day think about that when you are struggling to feed your kids or heat your house

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

A television is a receiver and does NOT give out a signal, therefore, there is NO SIGNAL for these vans to detect. It is only SCARE MONGERING.

Mine always worked fine without one

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

The funny thing is that's how effective their equipment is in real life and no one has been convicted of it.

Loved this. Great videos. Geordie Frame always delivered our milk. My mum always sang his praises as he used to give free eggs out to families with kids. Lovely man and a true Shotts legend.

The motorbike racing was on the flat piece of ground at the bottom of the Bossy Bing (behind dyfrig street) you can see the bus going down Benhar Road at one point and the little Pug Train running along the embankment towards the old Vicks ash park....you can also see the chimney of the Sanatorium Hospital now Benhar Cemetry and the Laundry on Benhar Road at one point they scramble the bikes over the Bossy Bing

My mum at 8:20 on the Cummins float….

when was this filmed

That's my grandad legend I named my son after him

cheers
