What weirdos do we have around here?

The missus was driving us home earlier, waiting to turn right on a busy junction next to a dual carriageway, when a guy who looked like the most average "normal"  middle aged bloke type you can think of with a beige coat, glasses, and combover hair.... walked calmly into the middle of the two lanes in the path of us and cars doing 40mph+ ,turned and twirled round 3 or 4 times, then sort of moonwalked back to the kerb and merrily waved the traffic on,   no other people around him to show off to and the only thing I could think to say to him was "you ok pal?".

Just seemed very a surreal thing to be doing for no reason, rang the local bobby team for his own safety before someone run him over and couldn't stop laughing as i tried to explain what he was doing!

Your standard British excentric don't worry about it :lol: :lol:

any other country and they would have the tazer out..

We had two belters in bangor .

one thought he was the king of wales (including full robes and crown ) and the other we called Marrigold as he wore washing up gloves all the time .. and he also wore a black rubber mini skirt ,tweed jacket and black watch cap , If you bibbed your horn he would salute then whip out a note book and take your reg number :lol: :lol:

mad as a box of frogs the pair of them... ;)

You had a Marigold too??  :shock: There used to be a character in Norwich who would stand in the middle of roundabouts directing traffic. Lord Shagg-Pyle will tell you all about him, I'm sure. Don't see him any more. No idea what happened to him.

Then, of course, there's the famous puppet man.........  :D

lee celtic:
Our marrigold looked like an old soldier.

from the waist up very normal , shirt ,tie ,jacket clean mustash ex arm type from the waist down  :->

he used to stand on the site of the old hospital (now morrisons) taking down reg plates and reporting them to  the police for parking in the hospital carpark :lol:

 

Disco Matt:
Saw one earlier today. About lunchtime-ish, balding beardy bloke staggering around town centre with half-empty 3l bottle of cheap cider under arm. What astonished me was the reaction - people were just stopping and waiting for him to stop wobbling down the middle of the road. These are the same people who'll lean on the horn if you take longer than about 30 seconds to park...
