Ah, the Catman
I am also from that neck of the woods...The filthy Port, to be precise, thankfully i escaped its cancerous fug many many years ago.

I saw the catman vid a few years ago and was transfixed and horrified in equal parts. I had to do some research...

I was unfortunate to stay 'up the gibby' for a few years and in this time i came across many different levels of scum and evil degenerates. One of the gibby's more colourful characters was a chap called, 'Catman'.

Catman could regularly be seen shuttling barrowloads of scrap and assorted junk up and down the big steep hill that leads up to the gibby from the main road. The rumour was he was dumb, and i never actually heard him speak, only push the barrow, in ALL weathers.

So, i rechecked the video, but because he was so filthy i couldn't make out if he was the same catman, but there is a definite resemblance. Plus the fact that the catman 'lives' in the same area the catman of yesteryear used to collect his scrap, then it is more than a possibility that it is the same guy.

Very weird, but only what i expect from greenock. The fucking hellhole.
