That one has me beat IHE

I think he still attends games as a Main Stand supporter, he was a very good boss to work for!

I have your ticket

I was surprised this morning to hear Danny Alexander on Radio Scotland this morning from the London studio, I would have thought with the Westminster recess and so close to an election he would have been at home live in Inverness. I also herd myself on the radio after being interviewed before the game on Saturday

I think you are right DD Roy Macgregor has said today if they stay up this season he will invest more in the club.

An Austin 7 known as the baby Austin, this one has a fold down roof and back, an early convertible!

Was that where Hugh Crout used to work? The desk upon which I am typing this was delivered to me many years ago by the said Mr Crout. Yes he was a director there.

I wonder how many flats Tulloch's will get in that space

After voting for forty years I can't ever remember Scotland being on the national news so much before an election I wonder why

No just about the house, no time for old Inverness till now

This reminds me....who can recall, Carse Road, in the days when on one side of the road, were Hall and Tawse and on the other, was McBraynes, which always seemed to have a few Highland Omnibuses outside it. And may as well throw in the Distillery right on that corner too lol I remember all these buildings well, in fact I worked in the Macbraynes office for a few years, The Tawse office building has recently been demolished to make way for housing. I used to deliver office furniture from C.H Webster's to Macbraynes for shipment to Stornoway and the guy in the store was a real grumpy old b****r (hope that wasn't you) they were wanting it packed in wooden crates for transportation! We found another delivery company. The original office building was single story and the top floor was added on about 1970.

And may as well throw in the Distillery right on that corner too lol Got the tawse for that and remember Tawse yard very well before Halls moved in at the Carse Road end and eventually amalgamated, Tawse were a large construction firm building mainly roads and bridges while Halls were the housebuilder, both were involved in all the building of New Hilton. My father was a plant fitter and I spent many an evening as a boy helping him repair cars in the workshop where I had my first go at welding and driving all sorts of machinary! Tawse had 6 housed 4 on Glendoe Terrace & 2 on Benula Road we stayed in number 4 and the gates we made from scrap metal lying in the yard are still there!

For those in Merkinch, there was Jocks mobile van/shop, that did the rounds. And I always remember "Babs" doing the rounds in her electric Morrisons the Bakers mobile. The smell when you got inside there was to die for. I always remember her being outside my house about 2pm every weekeday. PS, Morrisons Bridies were the stuff of legend too And there was big Roddy Wood in the Burnetts Bakers van. We still get Davie from Buckie in the fish van on Thursday in Drakies.

I don't remember the petrol pumps there but the cars are rear of Austin Maxi, Hillman Hunter, Volvo 140 series and Austin Princess behind the pump.

How did it get the name the Black Bridge? I often wondered as the present one is grey.

Good photo outside the old RNI would have been taken late 70's going by the cars, from the left half a Ford Capri (I had 2 of them), Mk4 Ford Cortina, Austin Alegro, Mk1 VW Golf, Mk2 Vauxhall Viva, Vauxhall Chevette ( I had one), Austin Allegro rear view, Mini, Mk3 Ford Cortina (I had one), Datsun 120Y and I cant make out the last one.

If they are all that bad Charles you still have UKIP, The Greens or Christian Party to vote for.

That's the belt for my bad spelling! Chrysler Talbot had 2 models in the 70's the Sunbeam was a small 3 door hatchback and the other was the Alpine which was a 4/5 door family saloon/hatchback although they had the older names they were not good cars like the old ones with the same names!

A much better performance today than I was expecting given the recent form and am now looking forward to the game next week

That must have been during the building of the main Eastgate Centre the old mart buildings are still there. I don't recall the road being closed but it might have been for a short time only.

Must be the same sandpit that David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband have had their heads in for months

Nor me, I presume the building must have been a weather station or research station, did not know there was ever a building up there although I knew there was a Model T Ford driven up!

The good old Ferguson tractor which later became Massy Ferguson.

Gee whiz Charles that's some answer I bet your pupils at school didn't ask a question at the end of the last period or they would have missed their dinner
