It was many years ago and I was still at school. He appeared in our "backy" in Kincorth, introduced himself and said he was looking for Fred (neighbor). I pointed out Fred's mums house and he knocked on the door. Fred had already moved into his own place but his mum took KC in gave him a cup o' tea and biscuits and Freds new address. Fred later explained who the bloke was as I didn't know. Freds mum said he was a toff

I just knew he'd be a toff of a bloke . Good story Stef.

Ahh the old "I'm just looking for Fred " story. The classic cover story of guys stealing underwear from washing lines.

Possibly.

And no I didn't do it but knew guys that did.

Out of interest,why was KC looking for Fred from Kincorth in the first place?

Well I like KC I think he's looking for his mate do some catching up must have been a huge effort for him to come to Aberdeen Kincorth of all places. Shows what a nice lad he is.
Not sure how many folk would put an effort like that

Fair point Buc. When I was growing up there was a strange looking dude in my neighbour's garden, (whose underwear was out drying on the line ).My dad questioned what he was doing there . He replied " Erm.,,, I'm that Errol Brown out of Hot Chocolate . I'm just looking for Fred ."

Errol Broon loved his music not sure about his exploits though

There is a bit more to the story but I'm nae tellin' it now.
What I will say is Fred from Kincorth is the Fred who was a co-owner of One-Up Records in Belmont Street.
The guy caught in the washing lines was Feel Kenny fae Cruikshank Crescent
