Police search for woman
POLICE are searching the
River Clyde in their bid to trace a young woman missing from
Glasgow City
Centre.
Officers said they were becoming concerned over the welfare of Lexi Carmichael, 21, who disappeared on Wednesday night.
Lexi was last seen at around 11.05pm on St Vincent Place, walking towards Queen Street.
She was wearing a black and white top with a flower on the front and black trousers.
BOBBY O’Rourke was chuffed with what he called his “Christmas Bonus” yesterday after he won a key to the city – and £500. “I’m over the moon,” he told the Glasgow Times. “That’s what you’re supposed to say, isn’t it? No wonder, they’re quite right.”
The 70-year-old from Renfrew came across the competition earlier in the week.
“I always look out for the comps, I like those wee things.
“The clue said it would be near a park in the area, and I knew Celtic Park would be there so it would be near enough. There were a few other people waiting there too, so we had to answer a tie-break question – how much did it cost to build the velodrome. I said
£20 million, and I was the nearest to it, even though I was £100 million off,” he laughed.
The pensioner welcomed the £500 greatly, as he has six children and eight grandchildren to buy Christmas presents for this year.
“I came into the house and said to my wife, ‘I won these keys’. She said ‘that’s nice, but is that all you won?’
“When I told her that I had won the £500 she was also delighted.
“It will certainly help to give the kids a good Christmas and my wife was happy that she’ll be getting a wee bit herself.
“She told me that she wanted to get a hamster. We have already had all sorts of animals, so I hope she’s on the wind up. She’s 60, so I think she’s a bit on the old side to get a hamster,” he laughed.
