There was a house on Stockport Rd with a horse in the lounge.
Market Day Dave used to collect boxes in a cart.
Bert the Head was a guy whose head was about 5" wide and 12" long

I was stood at a lonely bus stop near Prestwich hospital one sunny day back in the eighties , when , right out of the blue , up strode a rather strange looking gentleman in striped pyjamas and slippers ... he proceeded to break into a trot , as though on horseback , and then promptly 'circled' the the bus stop half a dozen times whilst informing me his name was Roy Rogers , that he had a gun , and that the town would soon be his !

After spending about 30 seconds or so wondering what best to do , i was just about to tell him to 'sling his hook' when two women in overalls came running into view , told the gentlemen to behave himself , apologised to me for his eccentric behaviour , and then promptly escorted him back into the hospital !

there's a website with all these local looney's on if I wasn't at work I'd look for it. We had wanky Joe who used to be found having a wank everywhere and norby devlin who bummed a dog for pie and chips, me and my mates still refer to each other as norby when we're taking the piss and we're all in our forties now

We had wanky Franky where I grew up, pedo who used to toss himself off at kids in the bogs at the local park - never saw him myself thank fuck!

There was also Bruno the tramp who used to knock about in Bury town centre, wore a Burger King paper crown everywhere he went.

What happened to Dave? I heard he was in a bad way a couple of years back, so he's housebound.

The Nazi Scoutman, now he's a loon. Dresses in what appears to be a Scouts uniform, but is in fact some sort of uniform he's dreamt up, as he'd a soldier defending the Queen's honour. Wears white power and nazi symbols round his neck, and always carries a cane.

over here in malaga, many years ago before all the construction claimed the fields around us an old spanish woman used to walk around carrying a live chicken in a bucket.
Best is a downs syndrome lad who sits on a bench at a road junction.
gets me every time, sat in the car waiting for a gap in the traffic and i hear a PSSSSSSSSSTTTTT. of course you look and the lad flips you the finger then quickly looks away, eyes raised as though nothings happened.
funny as fk.

I remember Norby Devlin, I also remember Frank the Tramp, he used to have part of a bin bag as a hat with 'Naff Naff' tip-ex'd onto it.

There used to be a tranny called Tanya who lived locally too, he/she was always moaning in the local paper about human rights or some such issues. We used to give terrible grief and he/she used to chase you all over.

I've worked in the centre of Chorlton recently and used to have to wait in the mornings for my workplace to open up. Some of the sights I saw around there were a throw back to my youth.

Was an old fella known as Sam round New Moston in the late eighties to nineties, he'd walk around Moston Lane East making the most god awful noises known to man! I think he was coughing but it was a sound akin to a T-Rex realising it couldn't reach it's wedding tackle.

Never knew where he came from or where he went but my parents used to just accept this as if it was the norm so I'm guessing he'd been there a while making his noises.
