PHILINFRANCE Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Still on the subject of 'One for the Oldies' in general, but more particularly Police in the East End, does anybody remember a Police officer (not a PC as far as I recall) with a very impressive moustache who used to just stand and stare at the fans as if daring them to sing (which, of course, they inevitably did) Catweasel?

WhistleHappy Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Exactly- what if the Oak Tree had been cut down? game over. Imagine if someone had tied a hundred yellow ribbons around that old oak tree, that would've freaked the old boy out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 You take offence, ? hope you ain't the one who nicked me garden gate. Oi that's my joke! I actually used it on a guy walking down the Glos Rd with a gate under his arm. Big bloke, too. Fortunately he had a sense of humour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 A propos today's news item, how many people who were in the East End in 1966 remember singing "Who are they looking for? Harry Roberts!" to the line of police in front of the stand? I do. Kids, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yes it does bring back memories as I used to be in the EE in those days. Also remember years later going into the open end (Atyeo as is now) and over to crackers corner and 2 rozzers standing chatting as I went by. next thing I hear is ' Ear you come back ere' to which ( in an empty open end) i replied'me', yes he said and on going back he then started on me ( forget about what) I think he had mistook me for someone else and wanted me to leave the ground. After a bit of a few words, he realised he had ( or his hoppo had) a case of mistaken identity and told me to b****r off, without so much of an apology. Yes, in those days they still had a PR problem and today probably mans a police van camera nicking us for doing 35 in a 30 (sore point !!!!)
