user rosie1508 I enjoyed your articles about the glasgow travellers. My family were part of them i stayed in Vinegarhill and we stayed in one of the wagons my mum and dad were great friends with matthew Bredice the glasgow strongman he used to lift all us kids up in his arms and swing us round he even used to lift us in a sling held by his teeth he was great with all of us. My great aunt was a famous trapeze artist she was called DIdo and she travelled all over the place doing her act we used to love her, her real name was Diane but she hated it she used to buy us sweeties and play with us unfortunatly she turned to drink and that was the end of her act.I am related to the codonas and the whites and every year i go to the green to see my relatives unfortunatly we are a dwindling race and that is so sad
