Who has never seen.....

seen him the day next to the uni sunbathing on a bench!!!

I used to work in a shop and he came in once and didn't have the change to pay for this chocolate bar, so he pulled out a wad of £20 notes with a lakky band round them and paid that way. Strange to say the least!

i saw cornelius the ship waving tramp from shields pay for a carrier bag full of greggs goodies with a crisp 50 once

I seen him last night at Monument Metro @ 11.30. Carrying the cardboard from empty Smirnoff Ice boxes Mint game this like.

On the rich tramp front, when I worked at the bookies we were told that in one of our shops in the town one of the tramps put about £800 on a horse to win, which returned over £3500, they didnt have it in the shop at the time, at which point he demanded that they get his money as soon as. Waited there, didnt say a word, they got his cash 45 mins or summik later, through a lacky band round it, stuck it in his inside coat pocket & waddled off.

Ah.. the rare bearded tramp.

Experts feel the condition is partly due to being unable to scavenge enough money for a razor. Other sources claim its a method of keeping warm in the cold seasons.

Wonderful species

anyone remember the name of the fella who used to sit outside the marriners arms in north shields and always had his trusty bottle of QC sherry.....??? anyone know if he's still there????


also an honorable mention goes to one mr. jonny decker... not a proper tramp.. but still an avid bummer of tabs and drink and money for the phone!!!

Willy Telford.

well on his way like!!

what about that guy that walks around shields singing all the time?? whats his name?

I know a guy who drinks/preaches in the Queens, he keeps saying he's seen John Lennon etc.. is is the same bloke, quite long, grey hair?

thats the boy... couldn't remember his name... dunno if he still sits there like!!

Dave the Rave?

i know who you mean.. but i can't remember his name... i used to drive a taxi for eastcoast/foxhunters so i used to get them in a lot of the time up to ward 21 at rake lane..

but there's loads of ''slightly mental'' folk in whitley... theres a guy who looks like gerry adams who sits outside woolworths all day talkin to himself!!!!

what do they do, kick all the nuts out at 8am and they can't return till 6pm lol.

ahh! north tyneside home of the insaine.

Willy Telford has sorted himself out the last i heard. The bloke who sings to himself is called Michael. Full on nutter. Thinks he is David Cassidy more David Ike imo.

Alun you will know the famous arsonist Billy Tweedy !! The Lenor Guesthouse is home to a few "characters" and also the place next door to The High Point. The term Nut House is apt
