    I stayed in the Blythswood for a couple of weeks around Easter 1973. Working for Modern Telephones Ltd. I was helping the Glasgow Branch to clear some faults. I had come up from Leeds and was made very welcome. What struck me was the number of eating places in the surrounding area. Sad to know it is no longer an Hotel. Nigel Smith
