Congratulations on not reading the thread

Welcome to about 3 days ago

Anyone remember the YEP seller that hung about on Commercial Street telling everyone that he was having a terrible day?

He reminds of a fat old bloke who used to hang around town street in Horsforth who we nicknamed "busby" because that's what he did all the fooking time bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Terry Fkwitt , one of the LS28 legends used to role-play in the local pubs occasionally . We would buy his beers to keep him entertaining us . I remember him once telling us about his time as a bin-man . He sat on a stool and pretended to drive the bin wagon . He kept getting up and running to other stools , bringing them back , abnd 'emptying' them in the back of the wagon .

Another time he was telling us about his life as a sky-diver .
Comedy gold seeing him stand on a table and dive face-first onto the floor .

Damo . You might know of him . He is now around 50 yrs old . 5'10" ish , dark hair , and lots of boils on his face and neck .

Personally the only characters I’m aware of on this thread are Eric and that bloke who sells the big issue outside the sports café these days. This terry sound like quite a bloke though. Here is a few faces you may recognise from the pubs around here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWUABN_Cs9A My mothers an even better dancer than me

I wonder how this lot are gettong on then..

Now that brings back memories!!!!!

I gave him a fiver once. He looked like he was going to hug me.

Oh yes.

Were you wearing a hoodie?

He did surprisingly well for himself considering his modest beginnings.

Has anyone mentioned or seen that guy years ago who used to have Headphones on and stand in the middle of the pedestrian crossings where mcdonalds is at bottom of briggate doing funky dancing!!

And there was this old geezer who used to come into yates's alot and never buy a drink but used to do old style dancing to modern songs? he had a white moustache i think

Could not stand the bloke.

I know he did lots of good fund raising but I was with my grandma as we were walking past him. She decided she wanted to give him some money. Being a 80yr old pensioner she wasn't rolling in money and gave him the change she had. He threw all the copper coins at her literally saying he didn't want that. Made her upset and alot of self control to just walk away

She's been mentioned a lttle earlier "Woodbine Lizzie",but anyone whow rembers hers must be at least 80 or 90,she was on the go pre war and 1940s.
There is a famous photo of her stood outside the Whip
