• Trampy man who walks around with multicoloured stripey leggings on, usually seen in the alleyway on the stretch between Silks and the Salvation Army Shop. Also lady in crazy Jamaican-coloured clothing walking down street with bus station on it, yelling at you to worship Jesus.
• Too occasional.
• who's that old man who looks like a sheperd often seen in ampthill road and wears a dress? maniac.
• 'Taff'. A welsh crackhead who wanders to streets of Bedford trying to raise cash to feed his crack habit. Uses the old 'you got 20p for the phonebox bruv' line excessively and smells awful. I've heard rumours that he's had a leg amputated due to an accident involving heroin and a syringe and that he's in prison now. I don't know if they are true or not...
• Lennie (West Indian, gold tooth, more drugs than hot dinners) will always be pleased to sell you a broken toaster or a VHS tape of some Lindsay Wagner TV movie out of his Lidl bag to pay for more crack. Ricky on the other hand will just shout at you until you pay him and hasn't grasped the finer points of commerce at all.
• Mad Ricky. He looks like he has 150 stab wounds in his face. 'James'. Hangs around the council flats... can't remember which ones. He's a black guy who walks really slow and hisses at you if you make mild noise in his earshot.

• Watch out for Ricky!! Everyone knows he's mad and harrasses people for money, but because he's mentally ill and the council are lazy they leave him be.
• Fred de la Broom is the most fascinating phenomenon in Bedford. Once a homosexual, but is now a rampant hetero breeder, Fred appeared as one of the Poofs on the Jonathan Ross show. We suspected he might be gay but were relieved to discover that he is married with 7 children - roger galosh, fallulla loo, mallula-loo, flossie, mossie, cotton tail and peter.

• MAD RIKKY! Everyone knows him. He always has a can of Super Tenants, wears jeans and a tracksuit top, has big dreads and wonders around talking complete shite to everyone!
• Ha ha - not many to speak of - just an annoying Christian bloke who seriously stands there in the town centre with a little board and preaches to all the drunk people on a Saturday night - weird thing is there ARE always people listening to him! He can definitely be considered entertaining - well - I always have to laugh at the sheer determination of the bloke!
• Three drunks near the statue of John Bunyan, mostly during the hot summer months. It's good fun to lure them into on-coming traffic by waving cans of super strength from across the road.
