& Finally, two quotes from an eye-witness.........John Smeaton (these are real)
John just surpassed himself on the National ITV new. The interviewer asked 'What message do you have for the bombers' - he replied 'This is
Glasgow we'll just set about you'
John did an interview on cnn and they asked how he restrained the guy and he said 'me and other folk were just tryin to get the boot in and some other guy banjoed him' !
