Charing Cross used to be a kind of centre for that part of Glasgow - I worked for six months in a business called Studio Brett in Berkeley Street immediately prior to going solo - then came the motorways and flyovers, and everything looked quite different. I remember that at the corner of Woodlands Road there used to be an Aston Martin dealership and there was another one in Perth. I never saw one of those cars on the road in those days. And the streets were in better shape too, so safer to run one then than now! Last I remember, I think that car showroom became Elders, a furniture shop? There used to be a window in the area with a gigantic tarantula moving around now and then. Only in Glasgow would one think it an attraction. They say that where there's one there will always be two: as only one was on show, I'd never go into the lair shop.
