Over the Road Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Before it was Normands's it was Paxton the joiners. Thanks to you as well Willie! By the way, at what age do I have to emigrate to Canada? Seems to be our senior members choice for retirement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.w Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks to you as well Willie! By the way, at what age do I have to emigrate to Canada? Seems to be our senior members choice for retirement! I have been here 45 years and I always thought I would retire by the ocean but I never thought it would be the feckin Arctic Ocean!!. Then you have the Prince of Hunters hiding oot amongst the Mennonites in Ontario probably got one of those horse and buggys so he can fit in no flies on Smudge except when he standing next to his horse.

Wish i was Joe McGurn Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 When i set up this thread it was to find the answer to a memory i had from childhood and it was bugging me for a while. Its good to see some more memories from people coming out from Perth folks near and far. There are a few older folks on here who have been out of town for a long time and probably have not seen the changes round the town in years gone by, so this is an appeal. Places like the old wash house in canal street, the bakery in fues road have all changed now, can someone in there free time maybe go take photo's of these plqces and post them for the folks who left the town years ago to show what has become of these places. I use a smart phone to view and post on here so i am unable to post pictures or i would. Hence the appeal. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over the Road Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 If you point me in the right directions (not old enough to remember them! ), I'll get a couple of pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCA Toys & Sports was where Sleeping Partners now is. Odesi is where some dodgy geezer on here works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mapleleaf Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 then you have the Prince of Hunters hiding oot amongst the Mennonites in Ontario probably got one of those horse and buggys so he can fit in no flies on Smudge except when he standing next to his horse. 'Glad you said standing BESIDE his horse, E.M. I read on scandal.com that you assume a different position with icebound seals. 'Gives new meaning to the term 'nature lover'.

I remember a bloke at the grammar nicknamed Dopey. Think his first name was Grant (maybe). Anyhow, was visiting North Muirton recently, saw a bloke who looked like him getting off a bus as I got on. Wasnt going to make an a*** of myself and ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Ziggy Stardust Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Was in the toon yesterday and saw this shop with the modern signage stripped away to reveal this underneath. Anyone remember it? It's in Scott Street next to the Jade Garden. Currently it's a Blockbuster video shop I think. Super (Stud) Saint, you're bound to remember it, you being in your 60s?

I lived in Scott St at number 11 which is almost across the street from !946 till 1962 and I canny remember that shop. From the Post office doon there was McCallums camera shop, Beveridge the barbers, Palmers toy shop, a wool shop then PD M Mallochs where toffs like Supey bought their tackle then Fergusons had a shop next wis Morris Wallpaper shop, Johnstone the Butcher and the newsagent on the corner. Might have missed one but hope that helps Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingaporeSaint Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Good to see the Jade Garden still up and running. Established 1975, must have cooked a few meals by now. Have some good and not so good memories of the Jade Garden with various female partners over the years. Food has always been ok though.

Lochwinnochsaintee Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 The Playpen in Mill St. Used to stand in the Letham bus queue, with my nose pressed to the glass, checking out the latest Action Man gear:D Yeah, it was like Aladdin's cave when I was a nipper, though probably nothing like the likes of Toys'r us.
