His aunt and family lived in the house behind the washing on the right hand side of the photo. Looks like our families were neighbours👍 Looks like it. My Granny was the caretaker of the community hall that seemingly was on the right hand side as you entered the Close. She also had a shop just next to the close a wee bit further down the Canongate. It’s a small world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) On 02/05/2021 at 06:27, The Real Maroonblood said: Sounds like it was honour amongst police and the thieves. There was years later one of those guys was the one that told me i I had wavered and turned away from the group they were going to as a group discipline me for my actions outside the pub when they were arrested on the previous Friday. A long time after that in Niddrie Mains Terrace a woman told me her pram had been stolen just then as she took the bairn upstairs. I took the report and carried on walking, at Harewood Crescent I saw a woman with the pram. I stopped her clarified it was stolen, and took her name, as sole witness I had no corroboration and let her go. I took the pram back and took it back upstairs to the original. She told me they were just going to have tea and wanted me to join them, lo and behold her husband was my fall picker up, my White House judge, and now with eye contact said we would not give anything up, but I couldn't resist taking half of his tea sandwich. A sergeant also assisted in helping me and an offender. I had a call to Hay Drive when a well known lass was annoying her mother who wanted her removed from the top flat landing. I attended took the complaint and took the womans arm, she immediately used her free hand to grab my one irreplaceble organ and hangers. I was in extreme pain, and the only female vulnerable spot I could think of was a nipple, which I grabbed and squeezed as hard as I could, at that point the sergeant, George Urquhart came up the stairs , saw Ruby and I with what he thought were expressions of heightened sexual activity, and said in quite an embarrassed voice "I'll see you doonstairs when your finished Boab". Might have made a good movie The Good the Bad and the Pain. Edited May 3, 2021 by Sharpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
