I was reading a post on a local forum asking if anyone knew what happened to the bag man of Sunderland. He was an elderly gentleman who used to walk around the city center carrying bags, filled with more bags.
There were many legends and rumors about him, some say he was once a wealthy university lecturer but ended up homeless after Scientology took all his money.
My favorite was the Ferryhill hoplite who used to do a battle patrol around the village dressed as a Centurion or Gladiator.
If you beeped your car horn he would unsheath his sword and raise it in the air until the police made him stop carrying it.
Do you have any characters like this where you live? or is it just a northern thing
