    Billy used to pop into my dad's shop near Patrick Glasgow and would always say to my dad...I hope you're paying these weans/ children and he would giggle because he knew my dad never paid us for helping out in the shop after school. Once he bought a box of chocolates and gave them to us. He was always lovely to our dad and my dad enjoyed Billy telling him off

    We had a dwarf near us . Not the nicest person I've ever met. One day in the supermarket car park, a woman bumped his car with hers. He got out and came around to see the damage . The woman apologised profusely but he said "I'm not happy " she said " well which one are you then"

    My favourite story about being on a Glesga bus. I was up the toon just before Christmas, must have been around 2005 or 2006. I was on the 34 heading for Govan Cross and the bus was on Renfield St. we stop at a bus stop and a young mum, about 30ish gets on with her daughter who would be about 4 or 5. The daughter is wearing a pale blue coat with white fur trim, looking very smart and like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. In her arms she's clutching this HUGE giraffe stuffed toy. So mum gets the tickets sorted and they sit down, mum takes the window seat, little Miss takes the aisle seat, there's no room for the stuffed toy so it's now on it's side in the aisle. The driver checks his mirrors before setting off, sees the giraffe blocking the passage and shouts down the bus " Here hen, ye cannae leave that lyin there", to which Miss Innocence shouts back " Ye f*ckin stupid? It's a f*ckin giraffe, no a f*ckin lion". Took 10 minutes before the driver could stop laughing enough to continue down Renfield Street.

    I'm from Glasgow and those bus stories are hysterical. When I was getting married, my fiancee and I were taking gifts to our flat.
    We got on the bus and sat on the side seats, bus is basically empty, past peak hour.
    I'm sitting next to the pole at the side and I am holding a brass pole off a floor lamp.
    There is a young policeman sitting opposite me and he is going to the sub station round from our flat.
    This lady sitting farther up the bus gets up to get off the bus.
    Evidently bus driver is new, grinding the gears, bus jerking like crazy just as the lady passes me.
    She grabs hold of the pole from my floor lamp, I was not expecting that, and I let it go.
    She ends up flat on her back legs up in the air, and she is wondering what the hell happened.
    I'm hysterical laughing, my husband to be, helps the woman up.
    She tells him they need to repair the buses, I can't stop laughing.
    My fiancee drags me off the bus, pole lamp and all and the young policeman gets off as well, 4 bus stops before he should have.
    Policeman and I end up leaning against the railings of Queens Park laughing hysterically.
    My fiancee, madder than hell has walked off carrying the shade to the floor lamp.
    I often wonder how Billy would have told this story. I still laugh when I think about it and that was decades ago.

My sister who where about 4 or 5 years then, had the habit of pointing at things she found fascinating or peculiar and then asking mum about it. Now, my mother had told her before the ride that if she found something they could talk about it later at home and not on the bus. My sis agreed and Mum thought she was safe until a dwarf woman went on the bus and my sister pointed at her and with a clear voice said aloud: “We can talk about her later when we get home!”

    A fan for years & saw him live many years ago. My dearest memory though was seeing Cerano de Bergerac at Edinburgh Fringe with Billy & Pamela in the audience. He laughed SO loudly with his leg stamping into the isle, he was hilarious - the audience didn't know what to watch, the play or Billy. Huge love for such a warm, lovely man. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴

    Billy makes me start smiling with mirth as soon as he walks on stage and before he has said anything. Probably the funniest comedian and raconteur I have ever heard. Bless you for bringing so much joy to so many people. Such a shame that we don't have anyone that comes close to his humour and humility in this day and age.
