There was this a while back about that particular lady - Shoeeeee-

There was the Accy Mick Jackson lad, think a link to him on youtube is in the music section somewhere.

Cant think of anyone myself at the moment, but then I'm not from Accy, Im sure others will join in :)

That homeless fella, used to have long hair but has had it cut(badly) recently, Normally has a dog. I've seen him around town countless times, occasionally with older women...

Remember seeing two blokes kicking off with him late on a Friday night 'cos of the Dog.

I attend Salvation Army in Blackburn. That particular "Legend" was called Edward Oliver. A gentle, generous bloke. Sadly he died suddenly. Surprising how many people were aware of his presence really. I keep mentioning it to his wife. He made an impact in his community. I'll mention this too. She finds it a comfort.

Hi Cashy, Yes i remember him but not in the cinema. He used to come into the snooker hall underneath the cinema - trying to scrounge a tanner and cigs off the young teenagers in there - we were lucky to have enough to pay for the table and 5 Woodbines or Park Drive - and sixpence a corner at snooker:-)))

Johnny Go-Go, kids used to call him. Rumour has it he fell in front of a double decker. Although i doubt it.
