To be fair that was shot in Barrowfield (which lies at the back of Celtic Park) which was universally recognised as probably Glasgow's worst square mile, and Belgrove. They shot in Belgrove because the old Belgrove Hotel was a notorious flophouse for those poor men who destroyed themselves with drink and they'd be pretty much guaranteed to find someone drinking Buckfast in the street. The whole area is unrecognisable now. The Commonwealth Games saw the flattening of the whole area, and to be honest it is not missed.
also, i remember working in a shop where the customers would use all sort of slang for bucky - a bottle o juice, soup, bring the hoose doon juice, tonic, vino, and all sorts of other patter it was hilarious.
Growing up in the Scottish highlands we used to drink Buckie for a cheap night! This was when we were young teens - buy a big bottle for five quid, get pished as a fart, giggle and wake up with no hangover! I only have to look at a bottle now and I get sick!
I remember a newspaper article, could've been around this time (Evening Times or Daily Record) - the abbot of Buckfast Abbey came up on a fact-finding mission to the Buckfast Triangle, and expressed his 'shock' that people were not using his wine "for tonic purposes".
that old dude was living at the belgrove hostel on gallowgate,its truly the end of the line,i used to stay down the street, it was a shame to see how bad it gets for some people addicted to drink and drugs
I once took an African guy to the Bellgrove in my taxi. He said he needed a break from his Mrs and was checking in there. I asked him if he knew what it was and he said he did and wasn't bothered as he couldn't afford a hotel room.
@@rosswhitehill3207 that makes sense then. I checked - GTA 1 developed by DMA Design Ltd. which was indeed a company based in Dundee, Scotland. I always thought GTA was a USA creation until now.

got to admit as with anywhere in life if you talk to a drunk how he's wanting talked to you wont get bother, the problem is knowing how to speak to ol' reeky when his mrs has chucked him out and he's bawling at you for 10p when you dont have it.
In Glasgow at that period I would have said El Dorado was more popular than Buckfast. ALthough that is no longer the case. Quick question though, is that Stuart Cosgrove that is presenting this? It really sounds like him and the appearance is similar.
Had this the first time last year at the Rory Gallagher Festival in Ireland. Thought it tasted like a childs cough medicine, couldn't drink much of it.
Buckfast, Eldorado, Lanliq, and are basically The Good, The Bad, The Ugly of the rough end of Glasgow's wine selection. When times get really tough, it's Belair hair spray or meths mixed with milk; That's where the white line around the lips comes from. By the way name is ....and I'm not an alcoholic.
I know it looked rough, but I sort of miss how everything looked before. I only visited a few times, but it was a cool place. I grew up in the Docklands in East London and it had a similar feel to it. You met some really cool people and had good times, y'know? All lost in time now.
Buckfast cheap!.It now costs £5 per bottle which is dearer than 84% of the wine sold in tesco,asda etc.. .Buckfast is the drink of choice because it is the only one that gives you a alchohol rush,sugar rush and caffeine rush at the same time!.
Where did the name "BuckFast" come from? Monk1: "Buck buck #1!" Monk2: "Buck buck #2!" Monk3: "Buck buck #3!" Monk bent over (the buck): "Come on fellas! buck me faster!"
@@buttholesurfer2000 Should be the same price everywhere, Bud. I bought a 30 gram pouch of tobacco earlier, Charged £18 and said to the guy that can’t be right, He said that’s how much we charge so I told him I’ll just have my money back and get it elsewhere, Got the train to Glasgow city centre and got the exact same pack for £13:50
I left 30 years ago and just don't remember it being that bad, yet I went to watch Celtic every home game, so I must have seen it. Just at the time it never registered, but bloody hell, it does look rough on reflection!
Ah com frim guvan beg man, ya canny tell me we don nay how teh have a good ol swally, an ah don half love a good Buckie on mah way back hem from the job Center
May God bless and keep all of you lost souls and may he cause his face to shine upon you. May the power of the holy spirit bestow wisdom upon you that you may depart from your wicked and sinful ways. Amen
It’s long been a hit with underage drinkers and assorted neds, but surely proper jakeys go for the much cheaper options? Buckfast wine doesn’t give good booze for buck value.
Guys what was the buckfast documentary where the presenter while interviewing a rep for buckfast pulled out his made up bottle called monkey punch .lol
well you will know that there are areas where there is a lot of alcoholics, junkies, etc. London is a beautiful city just as Glasgow but there are areas of low employment and delinquancy is rife!
i like how he said I DONT gamble OR SMOKE like they are the devil.
They’re worse than drinking though, that’s for sure
He was saying he spends all his money on buckfast. How did you get that out of it?
I have a picture of a ghost on a tv.
I like how you think he was speaking english
fuck me glasgow looks like bagdad iraq with bad weather
Theres posh bits as well lol

Where did the name "BuckFast" come from?
Monk1: "Buck buck #1!" Monk2: "Buck buck #2!" Monk3: "Buck buck #3!"

"I'll day will come" was an understatement.. Only fucking team left in Scotland these days
U really tellin me aw the monks hid a big stack a buckfast behind the church haha
this has made me start to get ready to head oot and grab a bottle!!
I was replying to someone's comment which implied that there are no drunks or junkies down in England and it's only a Scottish problem.
A spend aw ma muny on drink
Just bevy, aye?
@ralphcraddock True! I've even seen it used as embalming fluid and propulsion for the late space-shuttle!
A night service to orbit will do well in Glasgow.
Bottle a Buckie n a gram a gear n it's party time
It only has this reputation in Scotland (& not all of Scotland). They don't call it wreck the house juice in leafy South Devon!
It has the same reputation in Northern Ireland lol.
Noticed how the bottles have NOT changed in 30 years. Was at Buckfast Abbey today…
now isn't so cheap.but worth every money.great stuff.buckie!!!
Fucking tenner a bottle now. Was about 3 quid when I first bought it, Or should say had it bought for me, Lol.

Equally as popular in northern ireland too
