Best view in the house

THE old Odeon cinema in Glasgow's city centre will be knocked down next month.

Nostalgia fans will recall queuing round the block, and being entertained, if memory serves, by an old chap in a red tartan suit and tammy playing two penny whistles at once – albeit badly.

Our favourite Odeon story was when the Beatles played there and a policewoman on crowd duty outside sneaked in to see the Fab Four. As she craned her neck, a chap told her: "If you stand in front of me you'll get a better view." It was the Chief Constable.
