00:00Just everybody's happy, even though they're out spending money, but they're happy.
00:05The lights, I think. And meeting my daughter, who lives in Liverpool.
00:11She's coming up with her family on the 21st and we're going to the Anchor Line.
00:16It's going to cost me a fortune, but I don't care.
00:19How happy everybody is. Everybody's happy, they're jolly, they're always pleasant.
00:25And it's a lovely place, it's a lovely city.
00:27Why the Anchor Line?
00:29Because I saved it.
00:31There was one night I was passing by on Christmas Eve and the water was pouring out.
00:37I phoned the police, they did nothing. I phoned the council, they did nothing.
00:41And eventually I phoned the fire brigade.
00:43They came out, bashed the door down and it's the most beautiful building, I think, in Glasgow.
00:49And so they turned the water off and they saved the building.
00:53So I can say to my daughters and my granddaughters and my grandson, I saved that building.
00:59Why do I like it so much?
01:01Because it's my hometown.
01:03Mainly because it's my hometown and you do get some nice people.
01:08Not always, but some.
01:10You see yourself, you get a lot of busking, busking, whatever you call it.
01:14People out singing and people out dancing.
01:17But the big thing is up there, Georgia Square.
01:21That's a big place up there and it's got a lot of people up there.
01:24There's a lot of things happening up there.
01:26And the Christmas market, it's down there, so it's good.
01:29But I'm not going to get a reduction, I don't think.
01:32No, no, you should tell the waiters that. Maybe they'll give you...
01:35You think so?
01:36Yeah, maybe they'll give you a little discount.
01:38When about was that?
01:40Oh, it was about 15 years ago.
01:42OK, OK.
01:43All the lights and how happy the vans are running about.
