i come from Crewe
If you want eccentric, hang around in Crewe town centre for a few hours (you won't stand much longer than that) - there are many an example of the 'reality challenged'

The black guy that walks around in womens clothes - pink puffa jackets, high heeled boots etc...

The easily-sixty-plus-of-age woman that still thinks she looks good in a bikini, even when shopping...

The old guy with the support trolley/zimmer frame with wheels with a very loud ghetto blaster in his shopping bag...

to name but a few. It's well worth sitting with the chavs in Maccy D's window to watch it all going by!

We have Crewe here too!
Here in Virginia USA, there is a small town of Crewe - the natives there are strange too, but just with their eyes too close together - nothing quite so colorful.

funny you should mention the eye thing...
...the locals around here tend to look a bit like rats. Small, close, beady eyes and big round ears. Oh, and bad teeth!

Lived in Crewe for a year
More brothels per sq. km than any other place in Britain, apparently.

So...
...It's definitely good that the only time I use Crewe is to change at the train station to get to Chester or the rest of the country.

Although your black transvestite sounds amusing. Got any other characters?

The tranny rents his girlfriend out by the hour.
I accidentally saved his life one night. I heard his girlfriend screaming for her life during a routine beating at about 3am and rang the police.

By the time the filth got there, three or four local blokes had kicked the door in and were about to 'sort' him, like.

Dammit! Wish I'd kept me gob shut!

Ugh...
I once worked a shift in that McDonalds, the people that came in horrified me.

The worst was a guy who bought food for him and his kids, and on his way to the table, sneezed all over the food (couldn't cover his mouth), then just carried on regardless. I know there's not much of an alternative, but it made me bork!
