I ended up owning a running a cab firm in my twenties on the strength of that.
Peckham,out of interest which firm?
I used to card all the local estates and nearly caused a fuckin war when I was a kid.
My uncle owned Baron cars, Sumner Road and one summer holiday he sent me out to card up.
Off I went on my bike, Tustin ,the bonamy , Silwood etc.
He used to pay me good coin per thousand but warned me if he got to hear of me dumping them in the bin.
After a few weeks I’d covered the area upto the Cricketers Lower Road, keen to earn even more dosh I loaded my adidas bag and carried on Pepys Estate, Trinity Estate even Milton Court.
Apparently I did well cabs were busy and I even got a bonus.
Summer holidays over I went back to school quite well off and quite pleased with myself .
But as you know bitd cabfirms had their own turf and I had crossed about as many lines as possible from Camberwell to Deptford.
My uncle had all the guvnors of the local firms I had encroached on the blower asking what the fuck he was doing. Since he was of the breed that didn’t give a fuck he just told them to fuck off.
After many years later my old man told me I was probably responsible for quite a bit unrest in that part of South London at the time
.
The innocence of youth , sorry back to the Boro game. I am confidently predicting us to get a point at the Riverside and Rab to score.
Interested to see if the new keeper starts.
