Having to look out for the local Bobby coming round the corner on his bike. Grumpy neighbours not being happy if the ball ended up in their gardens, with the smallest player being delegated to sneak in and retrieve it when it did. Great fun.

Where the woman is passing a set of steps is where the would be Edinburgh gangsters stood in their "i am successful" Crombie coats. once in a while one of them would be wanted on a warrant, to low class a case for the CID, so they would advise the beat man. If they weren't on the steps there was a good chance they might be in the Rat Trap. You learn what an aggressive attitude is when you go in and execute a warrant in a place like that. Thats what made the job and working these areas fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
