Characters of Brixton....

Netski

lovin Brixton :)
:eek:
Thought it would be interesting to find out other peoples knowledge of certain characters I always see around Brixton, I find it really fascinating knowing that these big characters are notcied by so many people but never known...does anybody have any more information on these people or have any stories to input??

Heres a couple ...
1 - Tall black lady who hangs around on coldharbour road, mostly opposite the cab office and shouts out abuse- seems to be in her own world a bit , always holding a plastic bottle of alcohol . I saw her this morning and she was dressed really smart, as if she was going to church but was just sat on the bike racks shouting out into mid air!
2- Short hunchbacked mixed race girl, who walks with a shuffle and always has lots of heavy jackets on and wears a beany hat... think shes an addict of some kind.
3 - Iceland old lady, who sits outside making things and plays an instrument

.....trying to think of more... anyone got any other stand out characters of brixton to add....?
 
there's also poncho rasta guy, he wears a hat and some sort of big walking stick...I've seen him several times around somerleyton rd and coldharbour lane

Also on sommerleyton rd, there's this guy that everyday walks to the corner of the tower block and sits there, watching people pass by. He moves very slow, using a walking stick.

there are lots of others characters

yeh have seen that rasta fella loads of times..he lives on rattray rd..he always reminds me of clint eastwood :D
 
Bramwell is well cool... he's the guy that asks you for "5p brother, have you got just 5p", if you say no he shouts "a penny a penny" I always give him money cos he's lovely and sometimes we have a hug... :)
 
Have you seen the white guy with the greying dreadlocks that can often be found hanging around coldharbour lane? he's an odd one.
 
I dunno what the accent is, but I can't understand a bloody word. And he keeps talking to me. I just smile and nod and chuck him a few pennies now and again.
 
The guy at top of Brixton Hill, going to cars asking for money. Loads of rumours about him. Know where he lives, thats all.

Ah 5p Man! Give him a hug from me! I miss the ranting loonies
 
He hates me for some reason - he calls me Bad Red Man

Think maybe u're getting confused with the racist rasta guy who lurks around iceland/the bus stop? The guy in the poncho never says anything from what i've seen. My mate calls him 'the watcher'. he just sits down and observes then moves on.

I think thats the guy I meant, he walks around Iceland/Bus Stops/McDonalds area and shouts abuse most of the time. Dunno what his name is, never thought to ask

Two totally different characters

a) short skinny rasta guy in string singlet who shouts abuse about white people and batty boys

b) tall dude with shades, cowboy hat, poncho and staff who quietly sits and watches coldharbour lane go by.

yep, totally different. The one with the poncho always seems very pleasant and I love the way he dresses :cool:
 
Thin and slightly ill-looking white rasta guy who hands out university of dub flyers at the station.

Sorry I wasn't too clear in my last post. What I meant was Rasta A is the one I have the misfortune to deal with. Rasta B sounds like a much more ameniable
