A long time ago John! I think that particular one belonged to Stickers engineers down at the harbour - GSA - - - N? - They had it for years & years at the harbour. Mr Munkle - (03/05/09)
Hi Ian, I remember this scene well. We used to go to the 'Lido' on our summer school holidays. In the early 1970's it still looked like this before the South Bay development changed the landscape forever!
Maybe it's just me, or a sign of growing a bit older, but the summer days back then seemed to last for ever! Remember the sweltering hot summer of 1976?
Petrol was about 70p a gallon, yes a Gallon!, not a litre! (Yikes!!!!!) Those were the days!
I don't remember the street looking like that but I do remember the map of the town that's up against the wall behind the cars, if you pushed the buttons then little lights came on to show you where places were.
I remember that map very well, I used to love going down town with my old Grandad in the Summer holidays, and playing on that map for ages! The town centre has changed beyond all recognition, and it's nowhere near as friendly as it used to be!

I remember my Mum buying me and my sister coats in Arnotts and she had one to match, that was a couple of weeks before the fire. I would have been 9 at the time.
Jings, I was only 4 when this happened, and I remember being in Arnotts BEFORE it burned down. They had a 'Bambi', one of those coin-operated rides that swung back and forth on the first floor. Great!
I wonder if a line-up of modern cars would be so easy to identify? They all look the same now!

Hi Shona T, apologies for not replying, I have been so busy with other things. Did you grow up in Peterhead in the 1970's?
