God botherers
Living in Canterbury as I do (a fairly christian city) religious loons preaching in the street and on your doorstep have become a fact of life.

Take for instance the man who used to stand on a podium in the high street bellowing at all who would listen,
"I am 3 million years old! I saw the birth of Christ with my own eyes!". Of course you did, good sir.

Since a new Jehovah's witness centre has opened in town, the bible bashing has become more regular. My personal favourite attempt to try and discourage them from returning was opening the door, rolling the eyes, yelling "NO THANKS, WE'RE MUSLIM' and slamming the door in their face.

Oh, and my girlfriend's mother once charged Dr. Rowan Williams full price to get into the Roman museum. Come on, charging 'him up there' to get in? When he has already tried to explain that he's a resident? That'll be an eternity of slavery and floggings then.....

Is this the chap who hangs around outside Gap and does the paintings?

Yeah he often stands outside Gap/New look
and sometimes at the clock tower. Havn't seen him for a while though.

Me neither :(
There used to be one further down towards McDonald's and Superdrug as well... don't remember now if it was the same man.

Saw the Archbishop last year on campus during JesusFest or whatever the big summer thing with all the priests was called...
