New pictures from Kenny Barclay

Kenny Barclay sent me lots of new pictures that he had scanned in. Kenny had left to work at Springburn by the time I started work in Trongate so I dont know too much about him. Great pictures though and had some crewmembers I totally forgot about as I hadnt managed to capture them on film. - Click on the pictures for a larger image.


Kenny Barclay on Till. Looks like Andy Purdon sneaking in at the side.


More of Kenny in the crewroom

Is that outside the old laundry room?


From Right to left: Stephen Morning with hair styled by cap. (the old Cap hair and pickled fingers drinking sessions were great) - Andy Purdon - is the last one Jennifer who used to go out with Derek the Stoner??


Paul Broadley at Wrap and Call. When you got a real container for your burger

Mick Muir with his best customer pleasing face on. (whos that in the background)


Here is a picture of Toni - I totally forgot about Toni. She must have left not long after I started



Is this Heavy Metaller Iain something? I mind his hair was right down his back.



The Battle of Rosy cheeks. ( iknow who I would have bet on). I cant believe Graeme Innes ever look so young.

Brilliant pictures. Thanks Kenny. If anyone else has some good ones to scan in that would be great.

His Royal Shawness

"Shady", "Mr Shaw", "Alan", "Sir", "f&@* face".....whatever you called him you knew never to mess with him!!! The boss sent in to whip the store into shape - Alan Shaw!!

I had a wee look on "friendsreunited" and I think I have found his website there. Heres what it says he has been up to:-

"The stresses and strains of Running a Mcdonald's restaurant for 12 years took it's toll and Itook a step back and went back to University. I am currently completing a MSc at Bristol University in 'Meat Science'. I am due to Graduate from this course in February 2008, in the mean time I will begin looking for a job. I have been married twice and have 3 fantastic children Jordan 17, Martin 14 and Nikki 12. It is true what they say it's better second time round! I have a wonderful wife Andrea who is my true solemate. We were married on a beach in the Caymen Islands on the 19 of January 2002. "

Send him a wee message here: ALAN SHAW

MEAT SCIENTIST?
What the fudge is "meat science" all about. Just need to get together with previous crewmember Derek Miller who is currently a transgenic technician and they could come up with some smashing new burgers.

Bebo - ing - update BEBO DEAD - LONG LIVE FACEBOOK

bebo is dead. facebook is king. search for mcdonalds trongate on facebook and join the love!!!

Over the years various people get in touch to say hello and I'm usually the only person they speak to. I thought it would be a good idea to start up a Bebo page so that everyone could get in contact with each other. It'll be interesting to see how many people will add and become "friends"

Not much on it just now but I will be adding all the pictures I have so that we can all write snidey comments on them.

Mick Muir does not sleep - he waits

More dependable than action man - Mick Muir got in touch. Mick was one of the 1st generation of the trongate crew. Reliable, dependable and didnt take any shit!!!

Here are some pictures of the Main Man:-

It said on bebo that this picture was taken in 1895. I dont remember much about Mick other than he was a good laugh and always cool. He was a one man singing sensation and had some great nights playing in the "oriental" bar across from McDonalds. I was a bit pished those nights but remember it was heaving in the bar.


Mick hasn't said what he was doing these days but rumours that he is trying it on as an amateur gynecologist could be true given the above picture. Sounds a bit fishy...probably smells a bit fishy also har har!!!!




Here is Mick in Philadelphia getting ready for the new Rocky Movie.

Mick sent me the following on what he's been up to:-
