I often wonder if designer, William Leiper, was taking the mickey when he put forward his plans for…read moreTempleton Carpet Factory back in 1892. Frustrated by a flurry of rejections to his mainstream designs, I like to assume he entered the city chambers as a very grumpy and sarcastic Glaswegian man. Council: "What have you got for us now then?" Leiper: "Whatever the hell you want, it's a carpet factory so why don't we just go ahead and design Doge's Palace in Venice, maybe that will keep you happy." Council: "Hmm, interesting, what colour?" Leiper: "Eh? What d'you mean what colour? Orange, yellow, blue, with multi-coloured turrets and arches, I don't care what effing colour!" And alas, Templeton Carpet Factory was formed. Overlooking Glasgow Green, slightly further along from the People's Palace, this truly bizarre design is one of my favourite buildings in the city. Now operating as a business centre with a small pub situated next door, it has become a tourist attraction in its own right, despite the fact many Glaswegians are criminally unaware of its existence. Good on you William!

Templeton Business Centre is the most bizarre building in the city. Its red sandstone, coloured…read morebrick, and ceramic mosaics makes it look like it should belong in Mumbai rather than Glasgow Green. Dating back to 1899, the building was designed as a carpet mill by William Leiper. The centre is often called "The Doge's Palace" because it resembles the building of that name in Venice.

Where can I start, seriously avoid this guy at all costs, a family member bought a fire place from…read morethis guy my auntie to be exact she is in supported accommodation as she has ms and has had a few slight strokes and is mostly house bound now, any way after having looked around for a new fire place she finally decided to buy one from mr john Kane a dimplex LCD fireplace sold to her for £900 cash and was waiting on delivery just before Xmas last year, luckily enough the electrician that was meant to fit the fire couldn't at the time of delivery after saying for my auntie not to worry that I would fit the new fire for her to make sure it was done in time for Xmas, once seeing the new fire it was obvious it was a second hand ex display model that was sold to her as it was filthy and not even in the correct box so on realising this she asked myself to return the fire for a refund as it wasn't what she had bought, I contacted mr Kane asking for a re fund stating that it was because the firm was not brand new and looked as if it had been fitted before, I was told that I wouldn't get a refund and a new replacement fire would be ordered after stressing that we were not happy and didn't want a new one and just wanted a refund because we didn't trust him after tryin to pull the wool over our eyes with the last one he hung up the phone then minutes later texted myself to say a new one was ordered and could be collected after Xmas holidays when the shop opened back up, so we had no choice but to wait till the shop opened after new year to try sort this out, once the shop finally opened we returned the fire to mr Kane telling him we did not want a new one we just wanted a re fund, he then said the fire had been re moved from the packaging and looked as if it had been fitted our answer was of course it had been but not at the house but had been in his shop to which he denied, looking around the shop I noticed a blank space of the wall with the note on the wall describing the fire place we were returning so it was clearly ex display and had been takin down, this then got mr Kane's back up and got him shall we say a tad annoyed to the fact he then swore under his breath at my partner, so then said he would need to check the fire place to make sure it was working and if it wasn't then that was tough we must have broken it after I stood and watched him plug it in and my partner now try and phone my aunt to tell her what was happening he told me the fire wasn't coming on and wasn't working after what shall we say a few choice verbal words from myself and then just threatening to have to call the police because of the way he was carrying on all of a sudden the fire magically switched on after he checked it and then agreed to give us a refund we were told it wouldn't be the cash balance that was paid to him T the time because he didn't have cash there and wouldn't shut the shop to go get it, but with refusing to leave till this was sorted he then told us it would need to be a bank transfer refund so we contacted my aunt to ask if this was ok, she wasn't very happy to give over bank details after the way she had been treated but felt there was no option but to go ahead and do this, so we agreed with mr Kane this would have to do but my aunt wanted to speak to him on the phone and after my aunt gave him the what for over the phone he transferred the re fund but only after asking if he gave her a discount on the one we were returning would she not just except the fire, I'm not sure but I can only say I wouldn't want the fire after where she told him he could stick it. Anyway after getting her money back which took a few days to show in her account we finally got her the same style fire for half the price so she treated herself to a new iPad too with the money she saved and after popping up and fitting the new fire for her she is happy now and just glad it all finally got sorted. I have to say as a small business owner myself I could never treat any customer this way especial a older disabled person like my aunt or any one to the matter, I can only say I'm truly disgusted the way she was treated and I would urge everyone to stay as far away from this company as you can

Great finish , nice people to deal with and will be getting them back when its time for the other fireplace to be done . Thanks again John and the guys

After much huffing, puffing, the odd swear word and a bottle of red wine it was done! Good job done all round! The prices are very reasonable, there's a wide range of stock and they are also open seven days. Top marks.

My partner rented with CLS for two years (I lived in the property for the second year, which I…read moreshould point out was all above board and known to the agent). Over this time we had a number of issues with the flat, ranging from no running water in the kitchen to a leaking window. Both this issues took up to 4 weeks to be resolved (which the agent argued was within a "reasonable time"). I cannot argue with this but the constant calling and emailing them looking for updates along with the fact that in the mean time no temporary fixes were put in place left us with a very bad experience of CLS and certainly will not be recommending them to ANYONE. I should also point out that many of our reported issues went ignored. We had an electrical issue which almost resulted in a heater catching fire (luckily I was in the flat at the time and smelt the burning plastic.) I emailed pictures of the half melted plug and informed the agent. Nothing was done. It was a similar story with very strong gaseous smells coming from the bathroom (on two occasions, the odour was bad enough to wake us up in the middle of the night). Numerous calls resulted in us being fobbed off. Again nothing was done. Steer clear.
