All this has me reminded of a song I remember hearing as a child, from the telly or radio I think. It's about Glasgow (Castlemilk high-rise estate) based on the call, 'Haw Maw, thraw me doon a jeely-piece!' of which the chorus was something like: Oh you cannae throw a piece oot o a twenty-storey flat Seven thoosand hungry weans can testify tae that Be it butter cheese or jeely, though the bread be plain or pan The odds against it reachin earth are ninety-nine tae wan. It a a protest song about high-rise living in Castlemilk or other places! Jenny -- Dr Jenny Blain Sheffield Hallam University [email protected] or [email protected] 07919 556371
