Most likely the reason is that Mr. Thomas does not interact too much with others and lives alone a solitary life for which the boys refer to him as "Old Misery".
"The Destructors" is a 1954 story written by Graham Greene where "Wormsley Common Gang" is a gang who plan to destroy a two hundred year house. The boys got their gang name from the place where they live.
