Re: Playing Out

I had not heard of Fresh Air Freddie. I am reminded of a man with loads of convictions for 'flashing' He got locked up again and the polioceman relaised it was his 60th (?)birthday. He said "Why not retire and call it a day now?" He replied, 'No, I think i'll stick it out for another year" -

Playing out for me mostly meant football. I spent hours with George Plumpton in the light of Foster's chip shop window in Persia st. The street lamp was a goal post. I used to like gang warfare on Nelson Square and climbing on t'coits.

(Obviously, it was the girls who had to steal not the 'mincing' males hiding behind us.
Oh happy days!!
