hijimhere Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) 13 F Hunters moved to 28D Ruthven Avenue before moving to Corby. Didn't go about that much at Ruthven as any one from Hunters was fair game - still mystified by that to this day. to come round to Ruthven so I didn't have the best of times in those years. The worst thing was that my Hunters friends - the Whites 10 A Thomasina --- Angus's 10 F Randy & Frankie little brother nicknamed Binky - Andy Crerar, his sisters and more would not dare to come round to me and I became a stranger to them. Hunters gang had a great time in the dark nights orchard raiding and getting up to mischief Any how my dad drove the scaffie wagon for the county and would bring the lorry home to Ruthven if he finished the round early. He did the villages and I went with him during school holidays. Left for Corby in 1964 definite life improvement but I missed all my school and skating friends badly. School in England was sh** as everyone disagreed with and back chatted the teachers. Friends I made had no interest in football, in Perth we played every break and especially at lunchtimes - I would say I was in the top 5 players. I gather some of Tam and Jessie Whites grandchildren are in Corby these days.

AthensSaint Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I had to run "the gauntlet" on a weekly basis to enter Hunter's Chippie. I wish I had been brave enough at the time to tell the six or more kids who were all kicking me, punching me and making me extremely scared that bullying wasnt very clever. But I was just weak and took the kicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AthensSaint Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 serves ye right there was nothing wrong with the Muirton chippie. People didn't keep sheep in ther living room in Muirton at that time, Hunters so much more a challenge. rickardo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
