I discovered this article about Bubbles as I was looking for anti punter/anti sex trade articles in the Record. Did its exposure by the Record contribute to its closure? They wanted it closed, for sure, as the Daily Record was ''having a blitz on sleaze.'' I had some good times in there, long ago.
''A SAUNA in a smart city suburb has been bulldozed amid a police crackdown on brothels.
The Bubbles sauna, which well-to-do residents battled for years, suddenly closed.
''Its owners had previously refused to stop trading, despite scores of complaints over more than 12 years.
The closure of the club in Giffnock came after three vice bosses were prosecuted in a purge on Glasgow's sex-for-sale trade.
It had continued business as usual until two days before its demolition last week.
The sauna was revealed as a common brothel during a Daily Record blitz on sleaze two years ago.''
