Buskers, Street Entertainers
- Mr Gill a Biggleswade legend his most famouus phrases... Here laddy... you weant iced bun!!! Would you like a loaf of bread with that?? Any man that can sell stamps a penny dearer than what they are gets my respect! nonce.
- I read the various comments on your website about ‘Mad Willy’ and it saddened me. Whatever he’s like now, please don’t dismiss the guy who goes around town thinking he’s Jesus as just ‘Mad Willy.’ I fell in love with this guy when I was a kid – fifteen and busy rebelling, bigtime – initially it was as much his infamy that attracted me as his looks. He was eight years older, great looking and already notorious in every town we visited – a punk, a heavy drinker, but fun to be with; a gentle guy – a real pacifist, and the great love of my early life. He didn’t have a good start – his father walked out early on, his stepfather hated him, he was abused by an outsider as a child - and then he fell in with the wrong crowd and ended up being banged up. Despite the predictable low self-esteem, he knew he was intelligent and always felt he ought to have had a better start in life, then in his words he ‘could have been something’ (so many similarities to Willy Loman – one of literature’s most tragic figures). Whatever his problems and issues, he was great to be with – loving and loyal and fun, and in life you don’t meet too many of those.
When I first met him he was notorious for, amongst other things, having had relationships with many, many women – he wasn’t nicknamed ‘Willy’ for nothing… Everyone knew him and nobody disliked him, although occasionally he got a beating from those who didn’t know him and saw him as an easy target when he was drunk. We kept meeting up occasionally, over the decades, until the time he rolled up unannounced and completely out of it, on my doorstep – that was when we sadly parted company for good. One day, ten years ago, I came home from a holiday and found he’d sent me a bizarre letter, rambling and strange, about festivals and golden chalices and all sorts of nonsense, concluding with the statement that he now realised he was in fact ‘The Second Coming’ – which totally freaked me out. For whatever reason, at some point clearly he went over the edge and didn’t come back. Don’t laugh at him, don’t mock him – because once he really was something else – and he was right, given different circumstances he could have been something.
