And breeches.the pirate man!!! see him every morning coming out of the station, still curious as why he dresses this way, my theory is that perhaps he works in a pirate themed restaurant...or he's just a bit eccentric Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11988-curious-sights-down-lordship-lane/#findComment-336099 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophiesofa Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Was he wearing the knee high boots this morning? He must boil in summer. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11988-curious-sights-down-lordship-lane/#findComment-336128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Sorry, I didn't see, but he did have the tricorne on, which I thought showed a fine disregard for weather-oriented dressing.

jalapeno Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 We thought he looked a bit odd when we first saw him on the lane to find him at Soup Dragon later on - very nice man. Maybe he should have a weekly change of outfit to keep attracting the customers, a fairy perhaps..?!Did anyone see a man with a bird (the winged variety) on his shoulder walking down LLL Sunday before last father's day)?

brum Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 And of course, all this following the peculiar sight of rolled-up trouser legs (or rolled-down shorts, depending upon one's orientation)!

legalbeagle Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 They were defo rolled up trouser legs. For sure. And I'm pretty sure that was a parrot on that bloke's shoulder, I saw him on Saturday or it could have been Sunday. Having spent the weekend with estate agents on Lordship Lane I'm afraid the days have rather blurred together..........

jalapeno Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Aha, so it's a Cockatoo and a very well trained one at that. I have seen men with stranger birds parading up and down Lordship Lane!
