• We love Phil at the Bideford Book Exchange in the Bideford Pannier Market - he knows everythign abotu everyone and is a fantastic charecter!
• jamie fox has a mohawk ,ferg patrols the streets
• like the rest of the town even the "characters" are pretty dull, the general populance of chav scum is always good for a chuckle, im sure there used to be a guy with pipes hanging out of his arms that walked around, theres a young guy that looks like a pale Bin Laden, hes always good for a laugh, the usual collection of junkies and drunks, as long as you are visiting and dont live here you will have a laugh at everyone
• There's a lady who plays the squeezebox in Mill Street from time to time. She is always smiling, and plays it rather well. I think she contributes a lot to the feel of the place.
• My favourites are the smack heads in our lovely little town, who tend to congregate around Jubilee square and the phoneboxes on the Quay, what fine upstanding members of the comunity they are.........I'd burn the fuckers if I oould, then peel of their skin and roll them in Walkers salt and vinegar crisps!!
• i once saw a drunk man searching for change behind spar!i think kenbird took him under his wing and fed him some mushrooms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• andy the bold dude is funny as f@#k finkin hes ronaldo or watever
• This catagorie appears to apply to most bideford residents, however, if you're looking for some real fruit cakes, I suggest you try appledore!
• what about perkins the famous old gent that used to sit in jubilee square and used to say classic phases to women "hey good looking want fucking" and to the smoker hey you cunt have you got a fag, then you kindly give him a ciggy and then he politly throws it back at you and offers you a cider and flem drenched rolly that you kindly pass on. Another one of his famous things was to go in the kings arcade now cheesers and go to funder and frightning the joke shop look at you and grin then call you a bunch of cunts and piss all over the floor and walk off laughing. Bless the old chap he was the childhood idol, better voice than elvis, more charm than james bond, better than the spotty little half drunk teenagers that fill jubilee square know....what about a statue of the biggest star that ever lived in bideford put in place of that boring old fart charles kingsley and all the boy racers can drive like absolute twats around j perkins corner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Theres always the same busker along Mill Street. I dont think youll miss him as hes all in brown and has the good old traditional tramps dog. Plays the harmonika sometimes... but frankly i could play it better.
• There's this bloke that looks like a nutter who wears a top hat, called "MATT" who's actually a schitzo-phrenic victorian reject with little lord Fontleroy-itus. Plays bass (badly) in various unsuccessful (shit) bands.
• There's this bloke who plays the Penny Whistle on Wednesdays, he can also be seen in Barnstaple on Mondays, and when you're walking down Mill Street there's a bloke who hangs stuff out of an upstairs window on a fishing line.
