Final Opportunity to Benefit from the Scottish Broadband Reach Project

The Scottish Government's project will close on 30th April 2009. From that date the special subsidy for the installation of Avanti Caledonian broadband will cease.

To benefit from the special terms:

No installation costs

No connection costs

Affordable monthly charges (from £23.00 Per month)

In order to guarantee inclusion, you will need to return your completed order form and installation questionnaire to reach us by the 31st March 2009. Registrants should contact Avanti asap if they wish for a new order form to be sent to them.

The Broadband Reach Project for Scotland must be completed by the 30th May 2009 and we will be installing geographically and where possible, on a first come first serve basis. We feel we should be clear that for early access to broadband, you should respond now so we can include you in the installations that are being scheduled.

If you have any questions regarding the service, please contact us by e-mail at
broadbandreach-sales@avantiplc.com, or by phone on 020 7749 8100.

Hmmm, would Auchenshuggle count for this scheme.

Does Auchenshuggle exist?

I think the number 64 bus has its terminus at Auchenshuggle. It also goes along Dumbarton Road - so many people wandering around the west end have the chance to verify the existence of this place ;-)

According to my husband (who should know these things) it is about here, just to the east of Parkhead, along London Road:

On the subject of Auchenshuggle, it must have been an ancient township before it was swallowed up by the expansion of Glasgow. Trying to figure out what the name means. Doesn't the prefix "auch" denote a field or agricultural holding? I am at a loss as to what the rest of the name means.

Does Auchenshuggle exist? Does Auchenshuggle exist? Cheeze Lousie, am I not sitting bang in the middle of dear old Auchenshuggle!!! Thought the name 'shuggle' might have been a bit of a give away. Yes Mary the 64 does still run through Auchenshuggle, however now it cuts through Tollcoss and onto Carmyle, so no longer does the Auchenshuggle sign trundle the Glasgow streets. It also doesnt go to the West End, but now stops in Town. Auchenshuggle is taken to mean the Rye Field, however, it is more commonly associated with trams in recent history, and was for that reason was taken to mean auchen = the end of the line (terminus), and shuggle, well the shuggle,(shake) of the tram!! You can always trust weegies to make things up to suit every occassion. Thanks for your attention :wink:
