In our late teens back then, we were commissioned to clean the pubs ceiling stained with decades of cigarette smoke. There was more sampling of the goods than there was cleaning getting done!Rickynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-60531345814834957222019-07-31T14:27:40.504-07:002019-07-31T14:27:40.504-07:00Hi if anyone still reads this post.

Still remember Belle the cleaner and Mina. It was a real family pub. Belle was a doll and a real character. I remember going up to Her. D her husband Jim’s flat they where great so kind to a wee lassie. These Dundee women didn’t need feminism they where there own person as where the men. Happy memories of these folks.

This was built on approx. 1990 by Cleghorn and provides flats mainly for older people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-29045198780924802832010-05-22T12:51:05.201-07:002010-05-22T12:51:05.201-07:00Believe Jimmy Cattanach was the one time landlord ...Believe Jimmy Cattanach was the one time landlord of the 'Hawkie'.
