Ignore him and he'll do the same. You have to avoid eye contact with him else he'll pick on you

I no longer take the tube into work from Brixton. Is this fella still preaching?

Oh yes, every morning without fail. Although he has to compete with "Met-rooooooooo!" man now. Yes, we know it's the fucking metro, there's a huge stack of them in your arms and it's all over your jacket and there's 3 of you thrusting the fucking thing in my face

I dont mind the metro people so much...there's one that would always hand me the paper, and even used to say "hello, thanks"
other characters:
The old man selling the big issue opposite the tube, he's so sweet, always tells me to read page 22. I've seen him around the area pushing a small carrier trolley/bag
The black guy in the wheelchair. He asks for spare change sometimes, and seems alright, though i havent interacted with him
The guys selling reggae cds on atlantic road blasting out heavy bass reaggae tunes (On fridays, they gather around to chat and start dancing to the tunes)

You forgot the 'BRRRIXTON RECREATION' bit
Not anymore. Since taking over the Rec, GLL have banned non-sporting activities (except Friday prayers, which would have been interesting if they had stood their ground.)
White Rasta Guy was at many of the Rec meetings last year to discuss the closure. He put forward a very eloquent case about how the Rec should be the hub of the community and used for Uni of Dub events.
I see him around Stockwell a fair bit. He always said hello and seems a decent sort.

Herne Hill Laundrettes? Cause he was in the green grocers next door buying fruit and veg for an elderly Jamaican lady on saturday too.
Has anyone seen the big guy with the afro and the old school walkman headphones who used to hang out outside the Hobgoblin recently? He seems to have disappeared and was wondering what happened to him.
On the Herne Hill tip there's also the down and out guy who looks just like Mos Def who walks up and down Dulwich Road. He seems pretty troubled.

Slush
He's a Fanon House resident, as is headphones man (who I've not seen for a week or two). Cigarette man is entirely harmless, he just wants to smoke roll ups.

SEone, the big place in the arches under London Bridge station.
Hasn't quite got the atmosphere it had whilst in the rec centre.
Anyone remember the dude that used to always be pounding the street dresses rather like a sandman from the original star wars film.
Wasn't wearing sand coloured stuff but was swathed in wraps of different gear and always had his face covered.
Not seen him for a bit, may of been slain by obi

The one character I dread to see around is the oldish (grey hair) female drinker with the very red face. She normally hangs round in the vicintity of Rush Common. I say dread just because she has the habit of exposing herself which is just what you don't want to see (shudders...).

You'll be telling me he's not white next.
Oh christ. I remember encountering her on coldharbour lane once. She was sitting on a doorstep with her dress up around her waist having a wank

The comb lady, the guy with the colourful robes and staff, the white rasta at the top of the tube steps? I've never classed any of them as crazy
They all look perfectly sane. They're just people you notice a lot.Admittedly "characters" does seem to be getting a tad muddled with drinkers and/or people with mental health problems
and the end of Horsford rd, onto brix hill too
many is the time i have beeen walking along and seen her going for a piss in public

Beware hedgehogs
The worse the weather the more likely you are to see him. He is a friend of Mrs M's and she says he's as sound as you like. Say hello to him as you pass and he'll give you a friendly "yeah yeah" without breaking his preaching stride. It's impressive.
I think it was Anna Key told me ages ago he was going up town for some meeting and wasn't wearing the best shoes you ever saw so he swapped dancers with preacher man in the street for the trip up to the big smoke

His name is Steve. He has some very extreme views I don't have much time for.
