Title: Off to sunny Glasgow....what should I buy?
Post by: Rob Brownfield on 11/10/2013 at 07:28: Having just changed jobs I find myself with a few weeks holiday pay to spend...and a trip to Glasgow means a trip to GAC.

What should be on my list? :)

Post by: Matt Henderson on 11/10/2013 at 07:30: I'd buy some rain and keep it to use next season! There's normally plenty of rain in Glasgow.

However I believe Gary used to (and probably still does) keep a stash of trader-in and second-hand stock kicking around which usually turns up a nice surprise or two, ask in advance of heading down :z17
H :cool:

Post by: Rob Brownfield on 14/10/2013 at 07:46: I survived!!! Mainly because we did not hang around long and ended up in Stirling instead ;)

GAC is the only place I have had a staff member describe a fly as a "c~~ting good fly!" :X2

As it turned out, I did not buy much, just £70's worth of crap really.

Bit of a pointless trip really...although I did go in past the Glasgow Lambretta centre and I may have a new restoration project soon :) 1967 Lambretta SX200..woohoo!
