My town is absoloutely fucking riddled
We have several local 'characters' that quite easily fall into the eccentric catagory.

Here's a rundown of my favourite:

Tesco lady - Bonkers woman who isnt exactly fortunate on the physical side. Goes to Tesco and does her exercises, often in the fruit and veg isle. There used to be a video of her on the CCTV on youtube but I think it was taken off.

Charlie - Lives in a crazy house but is let out during the day to 'patrole' a stretch of road near the Shell garage in his army uniform, medals an all. Bless him.

Heroin man - Comes into my work quite often. Easily spotted due to deep blue eyeshadow ALL around his eyes and nail varnish on his lips. Also tends to sport a baby pink female handbag and/or a baby pink duffell coat. Often found stealing.


Now then, theres a conundrum. The last two are so insane its hard to pick who wins.

Mad Russell - Local bonkers man who walks dogs for a living at an alarming pace. May not seem like much but hes a local star. You can actually buy 'Mad Russ stole my dog' t-shirts off websites. I dont think it has much meaning to people who dont know him. He also has a myspace page where he claims to aspire to be like James Bond. Lovely.

Jamie the transexual - You have not met anyone in the world like this man/woman/thing. I often feel sorry for him because he gets chased by chavs but if you saw him you'd cowl away in horror. Basically this 6ft tall middle aged man walks around town with his M&S bag for life wearing oversised, very odd female skirts from charity shops. He walks around purposly attracting attention by often being rude to shop staff / asking stupid questions / being generally weird. But the wig.. The wig is the most god-awful thing you've ever seen. He trims it himself (despite the fact it doesn't grow)

The greatest thing Iv ever seen was Heroin man walk through the store I work in and start stripping in the corner and Jamie the transexual cordening him off into a circle with shopping baskets. Made my christmas!




COME TO MY TOWN! We have crazy people to look at.
