Does anyone remember the scary looking fella with the tatoos on his face (cannabis leaf on the forehead), who used to beg outside Mucdonalds? He looked proper mental, a potential ear biter if ever i saw one.
I think he had a dog on a string sometimes, he may have eaten it.

Eat the string? probably thought it was spaghetti! It would have been tastier and more nutritious than the burgers in Mc D's.Baddog Monkeyboy said:

Sorry I think the new shift pattern is getting to me, went to bed at 12.30 wide awake at 6.00 unable to sleep, now feeling decidedly woozy!

According to Edward Hitler off 'T' bottom the finest beverage is common kitchen bleach. Now ive never tryed it myself but i do admit ive come close when theres nowt else in the house to consume
and I remember Rob the russian, though I thought he was called rushin' rob and it just turned into russian rob, anyway i used to work opposite his house on Sash street and it was farking minging, crusty old bastard would always show you his tat and tell you about the time he fought mohammed ali and cassius clay at the same time (?) and yeah, hehehh his red wellies and bald coconut. Some people used to say his name was Alfridge(?) and he did actually flip out when you said it to him?
anyway, give that man a medal for making stafford what it is

Stafford has def had some great tramps over the years.
anyone remember the guy who used to sit by St Marys church and would ask every passerby if they'd "got 10p for a cup of tea?"
As for the old girl with the trolly, she's still around, saw her in town few weeks ago.
Seen a cracker in wilko's the other day, had long grey hair in a very crusty ponytail, dirty ripped brown leather coat, a scottish hat, a kilt and a carrier bag tied round his right knee.He had got about 5 bags with him,all full of carrierbags!!!!!!!! A real sight.
Don't think any will beat Russian Rob though, always remember him dancing in the market square to the 2 buskers/street entertainers who dressed up as clowns. What ever happened to them?

new ones ive noticed, although hes not quite a tramp but more of a mental, is this guy who has a mass of curly hair and a beard, always wears a tight white stafford marathon tshirt, a rucksack filled with god knows what, and really small shorts whatever the weather. he doesnt outwardly seem that mental, but when you see him hes always wearing the same attire, and he has the look of a mental. its all in the eyes.
Ah, thats Pete. My job brings me into contact with him. He's definately a special.
And a right bugger when he's angry.

he used to walk down the a34 to stone everyday too..... rumoured to be black belt.... have fond memories watching him play rugby with himself on sainsbury's carpark with an empty bottle of coke pretending to pass the ball and then pretending to catch his own fictitious pass ,pricelesscoobeastie said:

Robert the Russian(what happened to the great dane) did indeed work for Lotus. Story goes that It was a bad day, rainin and all and Robert was asked to take shoes out for a mate under his coat as it was raining. He was then caught with the stolen goods. Another interesting fact about Robert is that he was wealthy and his Guardian was his brother a well known (now deceased) Photographer by the name of James Brown. Used to be on Gaol rd (near Heron garage) later moved to the end of Rowley St. Think I'm having a those were the days moment worthy of Terry Gilder. Who , might I add, after meeting with him wrote a wonderful article in the newsletter about my Grandfather Horace last week. He's pictured with the queen. Not boasting, just proud.
It's quite surprising how many of the folks you think would be tramps are actually quite well off.
I can remember some years ago walking through the town centre and accidentally walking through a group of pigeons. This old dear came over and tore shreds out of me for disturbing these flying rats. At the time, I thought she was homeless and quite possibly a little unbalanced. Does anyone remember her? She had a red coat on normally with pictures of dogs on it and seemed to be carrying all her worldly possesions with her.
About a year ago I came into contact with her through my job. Turns out she had more £ than I'm ever likely to see in my life. Didn't stop her from stealing various items from Asda like the bags from the veg department and all the napkins from the canteen. I loved her, she was fab. Never seen anyone so utterly committed to doing exactly what she wanted.

I used to live above stationary box in town..opposite macdonalds, and i used to take coffee and biccies over to a homeless guy in the winter, and we would share a ciggy and have a chat.
Also a guy i went to school with became homeless, because of mental health problems and drink problems, I always used to see him about town drunk and shouting,but was always ok with me then suddenly he was there no more.We grew up together and I was really worried about him, however, nothing has been heard or seen of him since, but the police have said that they think his body was found in glasgow in the river.
