Aye Davy, Tam Gilles came about us a lot along with a lot of other Lanarkshire fanciers. The Loners best result was 5th or 8th Open Rennes im sure? My grandfather was a very generous man and his pigeons were well sought after. I said to him he must start taking money for pigeons going out as he was retired and short of cash. He said to me he agreed with me but it would have to be me that asked for the money as he couldn't be there when this happened. It wasn't a problem for me as I ran a business at the time and business was business lol. Anyway, the first guy to come and buy was a big fella from Cambuslang and I was cleaning the loft when he arrived.I said, are you down to buy the 2 grizzles, he hesitated and said, aye, you bet.I said , fine, £30 each, he said super and put them in a box I had and off he went, with a smile on his face. I went down to the house and gave my grandfather the money . Then the door bell wrang, I answered the it and a guy came in and said , Im fae Cambuslang and im down for the pair of doos Wull promised me. I said, expletive remove, one of your club mates is just away with them.My grandfather was mortified this had happened but hey ho, if your not fast yer last lol. The air was blue for a while but the good thing was the guy that got the grizzles scored in the yb nat with their ybs that year, what an opportunist he was lol.
