We've got an Apache Indian, or maybe a Navaho, here but he hasn't got a horse. He's a nice bloke really, works hard, very hygenic and always says hello back if you greet him. He just has this thing about dressing like a brave, winter gear not the loin cloth bit.


Birkenhead........ God's own Room 101.

Im not sure if its been mentioned here or if its a known nutter of Birkenhead but today I saw a right weirdo walk past the site. I could not see if it was a man or woman but he/she was wearing a large carrier bag on each foot, what looked like a net curtain on there head and they where carrying a small Christmas tree in their hand. All the passers by where just staring in astonishment. It was the funniest thing I have seen for ages watching peoples reactions. Even the staff in the carpet shop came out to see what had just walked passed. I will keep an eye out and try to get a photo if they come past again.

I saw him/her this afternoon walking towards recycling centre,tree in hand,bag on head.Can only assume he/she was going to be with it's own kind.
It was probably disturbed(?)and must be nocturnal..or something!!

Going back a page or so about the Corpy buses, found this on the Merseytravel site ( Clicky ):-

2. Does anyone remember the bus conductor on Wirral who used to announce the stops in rhyming couplets? Here are two examples of his:-

College Drive
What a dive!

Bebington Station
Heart of the nation


Which I seem to vaugely 'sort of' remember. Anyone else?

Sounds like the one I posted about, yesterday. That was on the Bebington routes 50 and 58 which I used for school and work in the late '40s and '50s.

I remember 'Mad Dave' ,(not Divvy Dave) ,around Bebington in the late sixties , seventies and possibly early eighties.

Dave used to live in Acreville Road and spent a lot of his time by the shops at Beb station collecting bus numbers.
