    Christian Laughing John was a regular at The Bay Horse and used on a Flyer for Local Life at Chelmsford Football (ironically) and the other chap in question is the Melbourne nutter (wore glasses) proper crank. Worthy mention for the mid 90’s Oasis fan who minced round Chelmsford town centre in his green parker and red tinted glasses who thought he was Liam…. Poor cunt.

      I’ve just found this on a Beijing based message board that is also, in a bizarre quirk of timing, discussing local weirdos.

      ’There’s a strange English chap who comes in to our local bar and who does the oddest of things. Firstly he wears the most awful clothes, they seem to be an assortment of pastel based oddities paired with the most disgusting trainers you’ve ever seen. He then proceeds to drink a small quantity of lager with his friends and when they buy him shots, he tips them into the plant pots when they go to the loo. He also regularly informs his friends of the differences between using Mandarin Simplified and traditional Chinese when they’re talking about food. We think he’s a complete plank’

      Gary Glitter used to hang around Burford School for years when he lived in Bampton. Kids even back then were saying that he was a wrongun.

          The naked traveller who set up home behind the old waltzing waters place. He’s a naturist, when he does wear clothes it’s usually cut off jeans with his nuts hanging out one side

            LT42 To be fair to Gary, he always had top quality sweets, his purple ones always had cashews and not hazelnuts.
