We used to have a bloke who looked like Jesus and walked around in a white suit all the time and fed the pigeons. He just died a short while ago.
Over the last few months we've had an old bloke with a long grey beard, who wears purple robes. He has a dog who follows him and he walks around with his cat on his shoulders. He got arrested recently because of the ceremonial knife he always carries around.
It's almost like he's filled the local eccentric void in our town.
Does anyone know of any others? They should be a great source of writing inspiration.
