A bloke called Brian, who some believed was actually a women, used to frequent town and Stannington. He/she wore a brown suit and hat and walked with a stick, was very thin and talked to themselves.

 

This sounds very familiar .Ernest was the name I seem to remember some 30+ years ago mind. Used to sit behind the stairs on number seven bus muttering ,sometimes singing and spitting

what about Walter- giving kids conkers and paper planes? is he still around?

 

these people may have mental health problems like so many others walking around the city or estate. they never harm or hurt anyone many just want to talk to someone, and being loud might be the only way they can express themselves, most don't know who to go to for help, or they may have come off there medication. maybe the council should have an social worker and when they get to hear of them they should go out and talk and advise them of where to go to get help or find them a doctor to help them and find them a place in a hospital

Black fella, think he might be Somali, in a North Face jacket that walks down Eccy Rd from the Hunters Bar roundabout to the Waitrose roundabout. I think he then walks up to the Uni roundabout, turns left past and goes past RHH towards Brocco Bank and then back down to Hunters Bar roundabout. And repeat. He occasionally has a cuppa in Spoilt For a Choice.
