Oh my God! this is my 3rd post today, they must not be working me hard enough. Don't worry this will be my quota for the year
These are the bits as i hear them
She went out to the easter house [?]
I think this is true - it's a housing estate in Glasgow. I'll not make a fool of myself by saying any more. Hope someone is Glasgow can expand.
[Keith Watson] It's the largest of Clement Atlee's post war housing estates that were built in Glasgow, others being Drumchapel, Castlemilk, and I've forgotten the other one... oops.
It was also the name of Morrissey's pick of 86(?) who as usual thanks to
[Keith Watson] Who also did name themselves after the housing estate in Glasgow - which was slightly confusing given that they were from Manchester (at least as far as my memory serves me).
Yes, I think that's where they were from. They had a song called Whistling in the Dark, about the miners' strike, so they might have been loony lefties like The Style Council and The Redskins, who also had cracking songs about or inspired by the miners' strike. I'm not sure, but I think Easterhouse estate is famous for having no pubs or shops. Legend has it that you're unlikely to get out alive if you go for a visit. I suppose that's just idle stereotyping, but I'm not going to find out for myself, because I'm a chicken. Kelvingrove scares me.
