New! Rowland, Hull
In the 50`s when I was still a child Rowland used to roam around the Paragon Station area.He would whistle with piercing intensity and volume.He always wore a tyrolean hat and carried a walking stick covered in walking badges.This stick was thrown up in the air and then caught like an army bandleader.He just always seemed to be there and it was when he disappeared that I realised just how much of a fixture he had been.

Cuckoo Kev, Middlesbrough
Another leg-end in these parts. Cuckoo would buy chips at the chippy and eat them all before he'd left the shop scalding his mouth obscenely in the process. He'd then order one of those 2 litre cola bottles containing 100% sugar from behind the counter that you can only seem to buy in chip shops and crucify 1.5 litres of it in one gulp then burp all the way to the swings where he'd sit and groan about the pain from his stomach ulcers. He did this every friday night at 6pm on the dot. Think he must have blown up by now.

Ron Hoppers, Middlesbrough
Ron used to sniff poppers morning, noon and night at marton cricket club then hide under the covers till the groundsman (who was equally insane) shoo-ed him away with a broom shank. Since then he's turned his attention to shouting at traffic lights and 'catching' traffic cones, much to the annoyance of the workies who have to 'free' them again.
Bonkers.
