Peter Barrett the son was my lecturer at Telford College for Heating and Ventilation. Great teacher but his only fault was he was a ardent Hibs supporter. Monday mornings we could always side track him by talking about the game on Saturdays. Edited January 11, 2021 by Boy Daniel his Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see top left, a building that was originally a police station. In more recent years it was an Armenian restaurant with a very unpredictable owner.

I grew up with him from age of 5, we lived in the same street and we started going to the games together at the same time, traveled on the same supporters buses, drank with him et al up until he moved to Hawick and i left for a job in England. Sessions and Youngy two words that defo went together. It will be nearly a year since he passed, sad. Aye, that Dumbarton Corporate, etc weekender during the 14/15 Championship season was a session & a half. Ending the evening in the Waverley Bar with the landlord was just the job.
