DOES ANY ONE REMEMBER WEE MEELIES CAFE. IT USED TO BE WHERE WULLIE CLARKS AUTO SHOP IS NOW SITED. DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAFE OR WEE MEELIE HIMSELF.
Jack Quinns chip shop is that what you mean David??
i renmember wee mealies cafe every sunday night we all met their in1955 all the boys and girls met theirand of course we thought it was great sitting listening to the juke box how easy life was then
Mealie and his brother Reidie who was taller but similar looking (their surname may have been Bernardo) ran the cafe when I arrived in Kilbirnie in 1962. They ran it for many years, and it was much later that the Quinns owned it.
Anne I was born in 1964 so have no knowledge of the cafe before about 69,70
is the this same wee cafe i used to go to before going to the scout hall disco ,?.also i remember vins +Berts,aaa those were the days ,nae worries about council tax ect,
Re Wee Meelie's cafe remember it well - favourite after tennis club closed each night also the 'chippie' where you could purchase a 4d or 6d bag of chips, that's two and a half pence or less in to-days money.
Aye those were the days.
My pals and I used to love going to Wee Meelies cafe for peas and crisps and dandelion and burdock (ginger), we would listen to The Targets record on the juke box, little did I know I would end up marrying one of the band members and 38 years later we are still together.

My Aunt Agnes Whyte worked there for years and was great freinds with the family, she has some fab stories about those days...x
Yes I remember Meelies cafe with the peas n crisps and the Rockola Jukebox.
Those brown wooden seats and the square tables with the wee shelf.
I tried to buy that jukebox but they wanted to much money for it.
Did Meelie not stay in the wee house next door until his passing????
A pleasant wee man .....used to whistle a lot and sing to himself lol
Hi Teresa did your aunt agnes work for a short time in Nardinis after wee meelies finished up or am I confusing her with someone else.
There is a recently posted photo of the cafe on "Kilbirnie folk "on facebook.There are over a thousand old photos on there now.
Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
