As an owd man I am struggling. More worried that the weather will be bad for the Grangemouth Gala Day. I do remember the shows (fair) being next to the old bus garages. As for a gala then pass I honestly say I dont remember.

It's every two years and last time it started from the Globe Centre/Paradise street region headed into town, went up little Blackburn Rd, along Abbey Street, up Whalley Rd and on Queens Rd and disbanded on Thorneyholme Rd. As far as I know the same is happening this year.

You are definately turning into an old cynic. As for mice and men aint read the book Of Mice and Men book in years. Might have to go and find it.

Was published in 1937 and because of the fact its lasted so long the tale must be valid even in this day and age.

Dont ask me - i'll find out the details this next week supposedly.
