RIP Joe Ades - ace potato peeler salesman
"Salesman" really does him an injustice.
The YouTube clip is excellent.

interesting guy....
NOtice his casual use of the blade....and he's got gloves on.
He'd lose lose in a fight against nottingham's xylophone guy.

I love characters like these. 14 years ago, i was in nottingham with a friend. We passed the 'xtlophone man', and my friend commented that he was there all the time. I never thought more about it until the internet became common, and now and again someone mentions the xylophone man.

When I grow up I want to be mad just like him
There is a dancing man near me who is in his mid 40s and raves away by the side of main roads with the traffic to music only he can hear.
If I do ever lose my marbles, let it be in a way like this.
