People of your town!

As well as the puppet man there is also the radio man who walks around with a radio to his ear shouting into it.
 
Jesus Man of Bradford has already been mentioned, but I'll also throw the Shipley Dancer into the mix:


There's loads of vids of him on YouTube. I cannot explain why or what, but he's known in those parts of West Yorkshire!
 
Ninja (bangs on bins all day with drum sticks, then gets into all night clubs for free and drinks bought for him..??)

havent seen him in years now .. heard he's been banned from loads of clubs now. im from barry and there has been loads of faces over the years
 
Anyone seen kilt man in stoke?

There is a dude who isnt scotish that always wears a kilt and them knee high socks . He is proper scruffy but his kilt/socks are always prestine white. He walks around the bus station putting litter in his plastic bags
 
In Urmston we had OB, he walked all over with his bike, satchels full of golf balls that he'd scoured the local golf courses for then tried to flog themto you, he also spoke in rhyme but can't say what as his language was often colourful!

he has a facebook page though

If im thinking about the same guy he is scottish - always in a kilt, 2 leather jackets and carries loads of carrier bags? He used to come into iceland when i worked then and would walk round spouting bits out of the bible!
 
In Bromley there used to be a tall black guy who used to come into the pub wearing not much, no shoes and a big snake round his neck. This was about 15 years ago now. I saw him up at Victoria station a few weeks ago! :)
 
The breakdancing pensioner from Britains Got Talent is always in a pub in Loughborough. Used to see him pretty much every weekend, hitting on 16 year olds :D
 
In St Albans there's a man who's less than 4 foot in hight who cleans the streets and empties the bins, he has a really small bike too which is cool...

Belfast had some foreign bloke who sells the big issue outside the old pizza hut for the last 4 years.

The asian bloke who sells tours in town is a good laugh! When I moved out there he spoke broken english, now he has a crazy think north Belfast accent! :D

There's the nutter who sleeps under the spar window on Botanic too, he's not nice though, he attacked a woman then was sick and started to kiss her... (she was homeless and off her head too)

Oh and no one can forget Tony back when I lived in Olney, he really liked trains. There was another bloke Robbie-G who used to rap all the time...

In my town Stafford, I frequently come across a small hunchbacked woman covered head-to-foot in dark clothes. She never shows her face, which reminds me of a smaller version of a dementor from Harry Potter lol. Every time I see her, she is pushing a shopping trolly, out of bounds from the supermarkets.
 
There's a guy I see about in leicester ever since I can remember (I've lived here more than 15 years now I think) - I call him the 'walkin' dude' - tall, slightly scruffy bloke with a largish back pack/rucksack thing. He just walks... nobody knows from whence he came, nor where he is bound.... (that's how the movie voice-over in my head goes when I see him anyway).
 
This thread is a fascinating read - I only wish there were some similarly interesting eccentrics in my home town :/

Knowing my luck, someone will post one and it'll be me..
 
We have Scary Mary in Burnley, one of the local fruit cakes who walks round shouting at her imaginary friends. She sometimes starts attacking inanimate objects as well, if people try to calm her down she then attacks them :D
