Ive met guys like this in the projects I grew up in here in Norfolk, VA. Old guys who had a rough life but learned a lot and will have a laugh then buy you some drink any time of the week. Great guys.
The model of the horse and cart must be Jock Stockman, the coalman. He'd have been really made up if he had seen that. Nice to see someone remembers him too. Thanks for the upload. Gold !
Thanks for this made my day me & the wife used to go every Saturday or Sunday for her Baccy& we use to love looking round all the stalls & shops . Brilliant place there and Blochairn are 2 of our favorite places
lOVE gLASGOW, My father lived in a single end , corner of Norfolk Street and Dover Street, until he moved to Newcastle during WW2, I went to Glasgow school of Art, Qualified as an architect, and am in Glasgow as often as I can.
hahahha, "kin ye give me that screwdriver?" "AYE, av got a lefty handed one" hahaha priceless. I mind a few yearago I was in the barras n was sittin in a wee cafe waitin on ma breaky n a wee guy walked in like , "here , gona give me some burnt toast please", woman was like "put some burnt toast on fur him" then instantly the wee guy turned roon like "nawwww, don't put me burnt toast on, put some bread in the toaster n burn it" :D , classic.
Went to Barras as a tourist last year. I'd heard about Glasgow being rough but we only had a problem in Barras with some drunk fool. Heard Barras was a must-see for tourists to see the "real Glasgow" but it certainly wasn't the most welcoming place. More like Skid Row in LA but with harder loudmouths and grey skies.
Got some news very recently about Wee John ...... he is still with us / alive ..... but he is not keeping too well .... I am planning to try and go to visit him .....ASAP
Was down there a few montha ago, a shadow of the place it used to be,,,street arra was empty and stalls were nowhere near as many as there used to be,,a real shame and clearly the council are wanting to see it closed as they have done for many years now,, think it on its last legs,, used to love going down there on a weekend.
That horse n cart reminds me of a wee poem i always said as a wean at Halloween going round the doors.... Anybody remember this?? Oor wee Jocks a coalman, He works in Maryhill, He gits his pay oan a Friday n buys a half a gill, He goes to the kirk on a Sunday, Half an oor too late, He pulls the buttons aff his shirt and puts them in the plate. Brilliant memories and that was back when we scraped oot a tumshi {{ turnip or SWEDE as they call them }} as a lantern coz there was NAE pumpkins back then lolll
Ah'm fae Fawkirk. Ma Da took me thru tae Glesga when ah wiz a wee boi. Ah bocht a set a hawnul bars fur ma bike ah wiz buildin for 50p. It was crowded and lots ae fun back then in the late 70's.
Wee John gets about he always upto no goodZ! A often wonder where he goes what he does he’s a fascinating wee character puts me in mind of my friend wee sanny!
I remember every Saturday would goto Barras .Wasn't a pitch empty ,street standing in was mobbed Pie & Mushy Peas , " Mussels & Wulks or Clappy Doo " Quarter Sweets from Old original Rumbling Tum or sit in Cafe listening Jimmy Sanderson live football .Good days people didnt have much money would go stroll down Barras I can never recall any nastiness bag snatching ,pocket picking ,no asking strangers for change know is for drugs unlike today every corner threre is beggars .People would come from all over Saturday afternoon day out at Barras was great for elderly gave them something look forward too & meet friends for cuppa tea sadly those days are gone True genuine Glasgow Characters are gone Miss Smells the People esp loved ones now gone trudged round Barras with "3 fur a pounnnnn ! God Bless Old Glasgow Folk !
All I see is a bunch of folk getting on and having a laugh. So why the negative comments? Is it from those who are lonely and who wish they had friends?
@IIxMURPHYxII Pop down to the shop . and I will take you to we Tam to discuss what names you would like written on the lucky midgy . any sat or sunday about 1 or 2 pm Happy New Year btw ybt
Great vid . Im doon the barras every sunday. Laptop fixed by paul. Watch fixed by frank . An shell fish fae the wee wuman in kent street. The polis have been there the last few weeks way the council cops. Am sorry but I think the end is coming for the barras. Sad.
I stay in Brooklyn when Im over in the states. I live with friends in Brighton Beach, been bout 8 times, Love Brooklyn. You really need to get to Glasgow, forget Edinburgh, it sucks, the people suck too. Glasgow is the best city an its full of History and culture. Real people unlike Edinburgh, all fake.
Hi Gary , one of your youtube vids you told a story/joke about you in a bed with another man and women in a croft in Ireland. The punch line was you jumping out if the bed and taking a bite out of the shortbread. what vid is this on ? Thanks Kevin.
Fuck n hell .....I wonder if that recent wee cluster of creepy comments are from one and the same person ........ and Lauren .....don't even comment back to the creepy bastards

Hence "The real Glasgow"
sad ain't it.
This market is simply not what it was. “The Barra’s” you’re speaking of? Long, long gone - even when this was filmed.
Got some news very recently about Wee John ...... he is still with us / alive ..... but he is not keeping too well .... I am planning to try and go to visit him .....ASAP
That would be great keep us updated
Any news on him?
that's enough internet for one day.
Was down there a few montha ago, a shadow of the place it used to be,,,street arra was empty and stalls were nowhere near as many as there used to be,,a real shame and clearly the council are wanting to see it closed as they have done for many years now,, think it on its last legs,, used to love going down there on a weekend.
We need to meet/see wee John’s “boss”.
Great video.
Used to go there every weekend years ago, it's pretty dead now.
He blagged that coffee
Top notch banter
That was a good wan! Action wee John quick witted said replay.
That horse n cart reminds me of a wee poem i always said as a wean at Halloween going round the doors.... Anybody remember this??
Oor wee Jocks a coalman,
He works in Maryhill,
He gits his pay oan a Friday n buys a half a gill,
He goes to the kirk on a Sunday,
Half an oor too late,
He pulls the buttons aff his shirt and puts them in the plate.
Brilliant memories and that was back when we scraped oot a tumshi {{ turnip or SWEDE as they call them }} as a lantern coz there was NAE pumpkins back then lolll

Glasgow is not a shithole at all. It's a great place with many great people and also very humorous people. The people are amazing.
that’s my papa the irish man with the book!!
10:34 "Fear as Dún na nGall atá anam"
I think that translates from Irish to English as:
"My soul is a Donegal man"
"Oh the cheery Glesga bandinage, the patter it fair makes one's napper birl. I near keeched my combinations with sheer delight."
the big guy with the scare used to work in the westwoog garage in eastkilbride
Ah'm fae Fawkirk. Ma Da took me thru tae Glesga when ah wiz a wee boi.
Ah bocht a set a hawnul bars fur ma bike ah wiz buildin for 50p.
