...a number of years ago, a series of postcards were released depicting 'charcters' of Old Hartlepool in the 1800's...such as fishermen, shrimp catchers, net makers etc. ....Time for an update for some drawings I'm doing I thought when I saw two raggy lads, stoned out of their skulls in the middle of the afternoon clothed in 'contemporary sportswear' and baseball caps each with a 12 pack of Fosters on their shoulders ...... and both apparently strangers to the mysteries of personal hygiene ....unemployable for life.
...any more 'characters' out there....sun bed grannies, allotment men with huge baskets on cut and shut bikes...?

I dunno if you still have them but I have memories of fat nannas sat on dining chairs on the pavement with a pinny on.

And of course there's the settee in the garden lot. :roll:

There's the 59 year old bloke who lives in the club ...cheap footy shirt/oddly coloured polo shirt/ T shirt free from the brewery rep, all worn under a polyester grey jacket. To complete the ensemble, he'll wear a pair cheap jeans or 'sports trousers' with the stripes down the side, a pair of white socks and finally a pair of £4.99 trainers or the classic grey slip on shoes with little gold chain on them beneath the tassle.....oh, and not forgetting several rings and the ear stud made from 'fools gold' that lets him fool himself he's still young..... :laugh:

For the stereotype female look you have to add the top half hair peroxide blonde and the bottom dyed half jet black!

Park Gate Alky:

Big red bulbous nose, vein strewn cheekbones watery blue eyes. Somehow Snowy, you're going to have to learn to draw a smell of tooth decay and piss. Tracky bottoms stretched at the knees with both zips broken at the ankles. One padded lumberjack shirt lap hanging out and of course the invitable grubby white trainers with one sole flapping at the front. Complete the ensemble with a checked suit jacket as supplied by the Sally Army and one hand clutching a crmpled tin of Tennants Extra Strength.

nicked this cos i thunk it apt like...

"I saw a girl wearing a black lacoste trackie, black trainies, and one of them Low Alpine Ski hats last night, riding a BMX.

She has a spliff in her gob.

Said girl was no older than 16.

All these lad scallies were shouting 'Giz a nosh there girl'.

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world..."

There's a phrase to describe the distinctive line where a thick layer of foundation stops along the jaw line, but I can't remember it. Something like tide mark or plimsoll line.

Their 'lifestyle' is so hectic they have no time to wash, so they trowel more cheap make up onto their scrawny faces and even more 'perfume' to dampen down the smell of stale sweat ....pointing out the need to wash....yes 'wash'.... is a totally alien concept. :roll:

Snigger!!

Why do women wear perfume and make up?? :roll:

'Cos they stink and they're ugly........ :grin:

I like 'Allotment man'........he nearly always has a cut and shut bike made out of a buthchers delivery bike, a chopper bike, a my little pony bike, a 1950's bike and a racing bike loosely assembled to transport him to his own wonderworld on the allotment. The bike alway has a supermarket basket fixed to the bike with wire or string and always contains a leek and a cabbage. He wears a cosmopolitan collection of discarded sportswear of the shiney trouser variety and a coat so grubby it's hard to discover it's origins unless a genetic sample is taken from it......there's pigeon man, who's a sub species of allotment man, but as well as the infamous bike, some have moved into the 20th century and transport their feathered friends baskets in their goosed Vauxhall Astra ...the said car being full of feathers and powdered pigeon shit............... :roll:

The allotment men who used to come into the pub in Worksop used to turn up with a bag of tomatoes. All pensioners like..

'Want any tomatoes Kev?? Aye I'll have half a dozen. How much do you want??'

'Oh just get us a pint......'

Hang on, pound of tomatoes 60p, pint of bitter 1.80?? :shock:

Mr Nottinghams got an allotment I seem to recall... :grin:
