Saw Poncho Man in Cowick Street today. My mum commented on how she admired his spirit and individuality by daring to be different

Didn't know she was called Norma. Everyone I know refers to her by the un-PC term "Black Mama". I cannot confirm if there is an accompanying DVD of this title

When we were back there last march, we eat at Wetherspoons (Sawyers) quite a lot, and nearly everytime we were there, this shabby looking tall character, who was usually in need of a shave, would come in, wearing some sort of a furry looking white cossak type hat. He would order a pint of Guinness, and procede to drink it through a straw!

He ****** quite a lot of people off because he would sit down at a table where he generally wasnt wanted, and very often break into other peoples conversations! I think one or two people told him to f*ck off!

He seemed to stop coming in there during our last week, so I was wondering if he got banned for annoying people and not spending much money.

Anybody know who he is?

You talking about the character I'm talking about from the Sawyers Swanny?

I am not aware of this Jerry Hart person. He isn't the 'blind' bloke is he?
