THREE Glasgow businesses teamed up to give panto-goers a treat yesterday.
Glasgow Taxi drivers were on hand to help cast members dish out mince pies and hot chocolate to those waiting in line for the matinee performance of Sleeping Beauty at The King’s Theatre.
The festive treats were prepared by the team at Chez Mal Brasserie and Bar at Malmaison Hotel on West George Street as part of Glasgow Taxis #Glasgowgifting campaign, which gives a prize to one passenger every day.
Glasgow Taxis chairman Stephen Flynn said: “This December we have made it our mission to surprise and delight the people of the city.
“We’ve designed a cab like a sleigh, allowed Santa behind the wheel for the whole month and we’re giving out 24 fantastic prizes.
“Christmas is all about giving, and after talking to our friends at Chez Mal at Malmaison and The King’s, we decided that together we could do something really special for Glaswegians.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
