I noticed a tramp helping himself to the contents of the bin outside the Woolpack the other day! Is this a sign that the credit crunch has finally caught up with Hertford or was he just passing through?

No it was me. I was looking for something to eat. I had popped in for a pint and found they had run out of Pork scratchings.[:)]

I think I saw him the other day around here in Cowbridge just walking up and down outside of the Chinese Takeaway and the new Indian Takeaway. Poor guy. Big grey beard and scruffy hair and was a bit wiffy too. Didn't see him going through the bin mind you, he was just walking up and down.

He was sitting on a low wall in Bengeo St close to Port Hill yesterday afternoon. Perhaps He's not just passing through. Wonder where he sleeps?

Maybe he has a house on Hornsmill or Sele Farm Estate? I think a little detective work needs to be done here starting with my nose in the air.

There was a famous tramp who lived in the central reservation of Wolverhampton's ring road for 30 years: http://www.expressandstar.com/2007/10/29/ring-road-tramp-fred-dies/ Perhaps our new Street-Gent has taken a shine to Gascoyne Way?

Or even The Ashley Webb Centre/Shelter.

He was sitting on a wall outside the Co-op in Bengeo earlier this week looking very forlorn..... so sad to see.

He was sitting on the wall by the Co op in Bengeo St again this afternoon. He was talking to a passer by and it looked like he was smiling. Perhaps he has heeded the advise of the local poster campaign to think positive![:)]

Eyeone is that the same wall he was sitting on Monday? I have my suspicions he may be a resident from Bengeo. I strongly believe and all evidence posted on here suggests the unthinkable has happened in Bengeo, he is unfortunate to have become a victim of the recession and he was probably a regular visitor in the Woolpack. My detective work also suggests this because he was talking to a passer by who was most likely to be his neighbour and he was smiling because his neighbour promised not to give his identity away because the locals don't want any publicity, I hope the Mercury don't find out about this terrible thing to happen in Bengeo, however it may be ok because Raymond Brown no longer works at the Mercury.

He was in Bengeo St again this afternoon but sitting on a different wall 2 or 3 houses down from the Co op towards Port Hill. I have only ever seen him in Bengeo St. Does he ever go into the town centre (Apart from the bin outside the Woolpack)?

Rooster my process of elimination came to the conclusion that he was not from Hornsmil-Hooky Street otherwise his Brother's, Sisters and Cousins would have been with him. Hope you are well and Uncle Albert, Rodney, Raquel and my-self may visit you during the summer for a cocktail or 2? furrybunny maybe they should have a poor box collection in the White Lion for him?

No, last time he was in there he fell over and an ambulance was called, but he would not go with them, mind you he does have a personal hygiene problem, so he soon cleared the pub!!!! last man standing!

The good folk of Bengeo will be horrified to learn this terrible news and they may be fearful that it may drag the property prices down even further. I think it's best to close the subject and remain hush hush over this awful embarrassment.[:I]
