Subject: RE: BS: Raiding gardens when I was a lad
hi

Guilty. Used to go scrumping too. One day there were four of us pinching a few apples that we knew the owners didn't use. We had got a few each and I climbed up a large pear tree.
Village bobby came silently on his old bike and caught us...that is the other three. I hid in the tree and the others didn't give me away.

Another time we were playing round the back of the village shop and we found it open. We looked in pinched a few sweets and biscuits and went home. Next day policeman at our house claiming that I was one of the bys that stole the stuff. Policeman said that one of the boys had written his name with his finger in the large slab of butter that they used to have in those days.

We weren't very professional thieves...lol

cheers
