East Dulwich characters?

[sophiesofa]

Deptford has the woman who wears wigs back to front

New cross has the man that make rasberries every 5 second in your face

Deptford has the lady who shouts obsenities at anyone and everyone and poked her finger in my friends eye

Greenwich has the pretend blind man who insults everyone and tells them they're going to hell

Who should we look out for in ED?

[Keef]

The classic was the white woman, but she's not around now. There is a thread about her somewhere.

[sophiesofa]

Just looked up that thread. She sounded like she'd had a hard life poor thing.

There must be at least one current one. If not an ED forumite will have to take up the position asap.

[Moos]

The white woman was a Camberwellian, wasn't she? I'm not sure you can claim her. ED does have the Whistler, sophiesofa. See threads passim.

[HonaloochieB]

There appears to be a paucity of characters in ED.

Where are the Whately Road Tramps when you need them?

[????]

Camberwell was/is packed with them

Pint nicker

Permanently Shorted man

White Lady etc

4am 'bruv' beggar

etc

...maybe related to the Maudsley?

[????]

We have the Clowns of course

[*Bob*]

And children - quite literally - running RIOT wherever you look.

Nasty little middle class ones with their plummy accents, micro-scooters and shiny golden locks. Save me! Save me!

[Keef]

No, the white woman lived in ED and was often out and about on Lordship Lane. I know because I nearly shat myself when I first encountered her after dark! Anyway, hopefully she's well now.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

We have Sweary Sean. He's quite a card.

[MHD]

We have the Rod Stuart look alike. Allways walking his dog on Underhill road

[red devil]

Anybody who works at Ralons...

This thread should be renamed ED Mentalists, I remember the Camberwell white woman she was a bit freaky she must have been cured. Once I was in the Phoenix @ Denmark hill station and this woman introduced herself to me while I was at the bar, she said "Hello I'm Vera" So I replied " What Duckworth" and she threw her drink over me and walked out. her friend told me she was a patient at the Maudsley, me and my big mouth eh, I did laugh though, the poor love.

[Keef]

Yes, apparently the white woman is now better, and hopefully she's living a happy life somewhere. I mean I am not innocent of finding her freaky, and whispering about her, but when you actually think about it, she was very very disturbed, and (there are different stories of the background) something must have sent her over the edge.

Can it be amended from Whistler, sophiesofa to Hummer, sophiesofa (i don't often smell bad though).

I'm going to look out for the mentioned above, especially Rod Stewart

[Mikecg]

In response to Keef,

Modern life probably, you never know there's only so much and it can happen to anybody I never make fun of it because one day you could wake up and boink prang bink.

I like the black couple, old man and his wife, quite scruffy, but they are harmless, we always have a chat. He even offered to buy me chicken and chips when I was at the bus stop on Lordship Lane waiting to get home. I always give him a wave and talk to him.

As for the white woman, I remember her when I was younger, she used to really scare me, especially at night time but I was young then!

[Mikecg]

Hello HeidiHi,

I was about 26 when I first saw her and she scared me as well I'm 40 now, I took one look and thought *AVOID*. she was harmless though and I never felt threatened by her just intimidated slightly, I did wonder what was she trying to say by going around like it.

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

My sister actually spoke to her and said that she was lovely but my sister is a bit of a fruit and nut cake herself, had I met her now I would not be scared, more curious as I have realised that everyone is crazy in their own little ways, some show it much more than others of course! Sweary Sean has scared me now with his swearing, I shall avoid him next time I see him on the bus!

[Mikecg]

Who is sweary Sean?

[KalamityKel]

some dude I guess *shrugs* ;-) B)

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

The silverfox...The Irish Charm...you know...( nudge nudge) SEAN!!

[Mikecg]

What? that swears?.

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I know!!! ( raises eyebrows) I was shocked myself.

[666999]

What about the mullet man? I have seen him wondering around LL and in the EDT but not for a while. Anyone know who I'm taking about? It's the best mullet in the world! Must take hours to groom to perfection...
