Gerx, dont ever remember any mention of a restaurant at the La Scala, maybe some of the older posters might know.
We were neighbours of Mr Nairn in Glenburn Drive, when we were kids we often got 'comp' tickets from him much to the envy of pals, we would fight to take his wee dog out for a walk in the woods, often 4 or 5 of us shared a lead which left Jim and his wife in hysterics.
I also seem to remember him filming us playing 6 aside football in the park at Glenburn drive, wonder
if that film still exists?
My mate Colin Morrison served his time as a projectionist with the La Scala, he would sometmes sneak me in to the projection room to watch the movies, also helped him during the reel changes.
Those were the days when smoking was permitted in the cinema, as the film went on the smoke highlighted in the light beams used to get thicker and thicker, passive smoking on a big scale or what.
