Hi Pat, I really look forward to your e-mail coming with all the news about the West End. I am originally from Hyndland although it is nearly 40 years since I moved north. It is like a breath of fresh air for me and to be kept up to date with news. Dorothy

**New Person Centred Support Group for Social Phobia and Confidence Building** Would you like to improve your social skills and perhaps take on the dreaded 'public speaking' challenge? If so, I am setting up a User Led Support Group in order to do this. There will be no cost (other than the cost of the venue) and, unlike other classes, this will be Pressure Free - i.e. we wont have to do things that we don't want to. I hope that this will be an interesting experience in which we can all learn by discussing issues and also looking at coping and improvement strategies. If you are interested, please contact me by email at confidentglasgow@googlemail.com. Thanks, Kel

Scottish Water are currently planning to discharge the contents of their treatment plant in the Clyde at my back door. It's amazing that they can dump unspecified pathogens into a watercourse used for recreation. They have statutory powers and unlimited resources to achieve their ends. Does anyone have any clues as to how they be made to think again?
