tramp names

[grover]

does anyone have a name for their local tramp?.....
there's one in liverpool city centre who everyone calls "plink-a-plink"
he's like a busker turned alchy who made a banjo out of cardboard.....
he strums this piece of cardboard shouting "plink-a-plink-a-plink-a-plink" for money.
there's also one who lives not far from me called reggie onion
dunno why..... he's been called it for years

Going back a few yrs to when i was at school here.....but there a few who used to hang around the wine lodge in town.....

one we called Earnie with the fastest twitch in the west

there was another fella we called dirty flasher cus he walked around with a really filthy mac on looking really shady all the time :|

another one used to sit on the boulevard with a few cans of tennents so we called him tennants super tramp lol

There is an old polish tramp who has claimed squatters rights on the grass embankment in the middle of wolverhampton ring road... he's got a tent there and everything, even calor gas, must be the poshest tramp in the country and has been camped there for years.. not sure what his name is but I think growler might be appropriate as apparently he just growls at anyone who goes near him :|

Other resident nutters include a guy who used to dress as a cowboy and walk round the town centre dishing out abuse and telling any women in trousers that they ought to be wearing skirts... also a little jamaican fella who stands outside boots preaching and telling everyone they're damned. If you're particularly lucky you might witness a face-off between the cowboy and the preacher dude - I once saw the cowboy telling him he was a 'false prophet' which needless to say he did not take kindly to

Oh and there was also an old bloke who went round dressed in full scottish dress - kilt and all, on crutches which i always thought odd as he clearly had nothing wrong with his legs, and spoke with a broad west midlands accent..

There was a few round here that i used to see more when i was at school, one of em was "fish cake benny" he had a miners type jacket and dirty jeans with huuuuuge turn-ups and he always used to have a packet of fish cakes or fish fingers in his pocket

The next one was "spunky", he wasn't really a tramp but more of a nutter and proper scarey :| We would always see him on his bike if we went into Liverpool or Warrington

Also there was a woman who used to STINK of wee but i mean really really really stink I can't think of her name but it probably wasn't a nice one

is he the one who cycles all over the north west with bits of cardboard all over his bike with anti smoking messages on?

 

[Miss Cola]

Yeh there was a old tramp called 'Pedofile Pete' round our way he had a bad shakey arm and couldnt walk properly, always had a dirty olds suit on and big wonky eyes. :S
He would always be on our old bus station asking all the kids for weed, my mates used to sell him half a joint for £3. Not seen him for years now hes probably died or in a home.

Creepy git he was :S

I'm not sure, if he's got ginger hair and a beard and wears a duffle coat or a cagool thing then yes lol

There's another man called "Mike on the bike" and he used to peddle all over Liverpool and Warrington too he always used to stop and talk to us lol. He always asked "did you watch the match last night?" even if there wasn't a match we'd just go along with him :$ I'm not sure how he watched it though cos he was always out and about on his bike

[nowthen]

theres one that used to always walk round town centers (seen him in manchester,stockport + ashton!) in a kilt and he always had a tape player with him pumping out some mad scottish tunes while he was walking about.

we used to call him 'Mcblaster'...dunno what everyone else called him....probably 'weirdo'.

 

[Konspiracy]

There was a woman who used to kip on the bench next to the Church on Deansgate

Everytime I got off the bus she'd shout at me for some reason

Used to call her Bella Emberg, cos she looked like her, only with rags on, and a shopping trolley full of bin bags of gear

Yeah, I remember her.
She used to shout obscenities to anyone who walked past her.

I also remember a guy who used to wander around St Annes Square on a Friday and Saturday night asking for change from people out on the piss and picking up dimps and that. He asked a group of us for some change once and I think the crafty sod made about £15 out of us......bet his meths intake skyrocketed that night......:|

Eeeeewww have you seen his beard, nicotine yellow:S
There is a fella in Old Swan in Liverpool called 'Jonny beep beep' who walks past all the cars shouting 'Beep' and puttin his thumb up.
And there was the pepsi man who lived by me mums and he hung around the park giving the kids cans of Coke:S

Dunno if it's still there, but there used to be an old sky satellite dish fitted to one of the trees by his tent . One of my school mates used to call him 'Rambo' ..I've no idea why!

Apparantly 'The Cowboy' went to my senior school... bit before my time though. If you want to wind him up, call him a coward . Have always found Ezra, the jamaican chap, well funny. Nutters!!

Bloody hell, you filthy bugger!!

It was always a laugh in Piccadilly (still is) seeing the tramps fighting each other over space and remnents of a solitary beer can

Also wandered through to where Sunset Radio was, on New Mount Street and saw this tramp wander out past a pub with blood pissing out his nose/mouth, been twatted for sommat or other and all the folks nearby were just stood watching to see if he fell over or carried on, he just carried on walking lol

We have a fair few, but the main one everyone sems to know is a guy we all call 'Roadrunner'.
Simply because he walks up and down some of the busiest roads in town all day then he walks down the middle of em holding up traffic while spinning round and round lookin up in the air??
Brings the whole one way system to a stand still lol
