Does anyone remember that old lady who used to walk all over Hartlepool? Looked a bit like

And was never without her

Used to stop walking every hundred yards or so to shout a few random words?

Went by the name of Uncle Peter, The Acid Woman, Psycho Sally, Mad Molly etc etc?

Really sad (her , not me!)

Just wondering what happened to her after a conversation at work about some of Hartlepools more colourfull characters!!

Cheyanne, as in Cheyanne The Bummer Man?

I was told she died.

she went under the wheels of her trolley apparently. She never ever emptied it, so it became so heavy that one day she got in front of it on a ramp - the rest is history.

I've seen him in various locations round the town and have heard him referred to as 'the wanderer'... i reckon he looks like he could be Gus Di Lella's dad. wonder what his story is?

Who's the guy who sports the huge 70's style mullet, and wears his shirt unbuttoned half way down his chest?
He is cool!

Scrub that last comment.

My apprentice has just informed me it was him who committed that unspeakable act with a horse on the field next to B&Q a while back

ALLEGEDLY

The lads call him Kajagoogoo...

Aye, thats him!! Looks like he's from some poor quality Duran Duran tribute act!

Cheyanne?

still alive and well works at remploy and still lives rossmere area
stupid

I have seen carriageway man walking along Truro Drive a fair few times in recent weeks

We used to live in Peebles Avenue opposite a bloke who had some strange looking relatives, two of whom me dad christened 'Popeye' and 'Coco the Clown', as they really resembled them. I think they lived out of town though, as you would only see them every few weeks.

What about the tall skinny gadgie with greasy hair who used to always walk along Catcote Road, he has a tash and is usually wearing a leather jacket, i think nowadays he spends most of his time in the town centre. His name is Norman he used to get in the Causeway when I worked behind the bar there. He reminded me a bit of Mutley (the dog not the messageboard regular) when you asked him stuff he always used to say yeah yeah yeah

Thats Amadeus your on about!

Apparently he lives over the Central somewhere and is Polish or summat.

So much for Care in the Community then.

That bloke is a bespoke black belt in Tae-kwon-do,me and me mates used to hang around the Yorkshire bank when we were about 15 and he came running past one night,barefoot as usual and one of the lads threw an empty coke can at him and he blocked it with his left hand without even a sideways glance at us and kept on running!!!

I have a feeling,all 8 stone of him could boot your head clean off your shoulders without breaking into a sweat!!!!

Nice fella though,ive spoke to him a few times when he worked in the kebab shop in York Rd,very polite and always has time for you.

Got attacked by yoofs, and never recovered, Acid Lady they called her,me mother knew her real name.

Very sad really

Here's a messageboard dedicated to such people, most people who have been mentioned in this thread are on here, I've added a few things myself.

Knock yourselves out!

I can't believe no one has mentioned Sir Kenneth of Bottles.

Who's the gadgie who collects all the tin cans on his bike?

I dunno....possibly 'The Tin Can Bike Man'?!?!

PS....I know who you mean though!!!!

Stig Of The Dump?

Peter The Petrol Pump.

Used to run about naked with his dick in his ear??

Anyone remember the bloke who was the double of Brian Glover, used to cycle along York Road very slowly, often just wearing shorts, even in cold weather, baldy head, skin like leather?

I saw him wearing one of those baseball caps with an integral pony tail a couple of times too.

Brian Glover in Kes when he reckoned he was Bobby Charlton and fouled all the kids.

Classic cinema. Watch the Americans do a remake where the bird comes back to life and Billy Casper becomes President.

Spookily I saw him in Morrisons this afternoon. I get in the Causeway after a Saturday match usually stand in the bar with my dad and brother. How long have you been going to the Causeway then, I was working there around 9-10 years ago now when Peter Creamer (ex Pools player) was landlord

Been my local since i was, ahem, eighteen

Tom Hedley was the gaffer when i started getting in there, but i remember Peter Creamer , top bloke.
So you would have worked in there with Anne Marie? and was there another girl called Marie?....Helen? And i remeber a lad called Marty who worked in there........memories of that period are a bit hazy..hic!!

Yeah Tom and Sue had it when I first started but Peter was landlord most of the time I was there. I used to have a good laugh when I was there most people I know say it brought me out of my shell as I was a bit shy when I first started there. Marty is now knocking the runs off playing cricket for Seaton first 11. Marie was a bit of a typical blonde though, I now work at Nissan and one day she asked me if I knew Mick even though there were around 4,500 people who worked there, she didn't know his second name though. I was there with Anne Marie she is married to Andy Kilby now loads on here will know him and his dad Don. Peter was a great bloke to work for, even though he is a Boro supporter, he was always buying me a few pints. AHHHHH memories.

It has been my local since I was about 8 or 9, my mam and dad used to go down when Anne and Dave Bell had it before it changed its name to the Tap and Spile.

Henry the Helicopter?

As you do!

I've heard the one who looks like Kajagoogoo is Paul Daniels' son (the one who gone done for growing cannabis a few years ago).

Does Carriageway man wear tight jogging bottoms and always carries a ruck sack? If so, he is Ian Campbell, who apparently gone done for attacking someone with a samurai sword.

Anyone remember Igor from King Oswy? Used to hang around outside Henrys, smiling strangely at people.

Also Black Smithy, total nutter, always high on glue, used to chase people for miles.

Also Benno the Gluey, always wear a camoflage jacket and a hoodie underneath. Can now often be seen sitting in the taxi rank shelter near Yates'

peter jones

the old mad woman got jumped on twice and lived later in the old peoples home on the central estate - sad demise for a woman who provided so much fookin entertainment - writing messgaes in the mid air and rather scarily pointing at you.
