• Hilarious reading about the doug! I'd totally forgotten about him! Also as kids we used to scare each other silly with stories of Purple Akkie being in the area
• mad murph after a few skol supers would do anythin!!! ha
• the doog was the original now theres taggy who lives local.
• The Doug (not Dood, Doog or John!) is so called because his real name is Douglas. He is getting on in age now and is well into his 50's, but if you had been sleeping rough for most of your life what would you look like?
• yeah right, how long would they last until some scallies took their money and their instruments?
• The Doug, obviously.
• Quality beetles impersonators down birkenhead
• Me after the Merebrook
• Theres a guy called noel bit of a nutter who wanders round by the bottom set of traffic lights by asda helping people not be sick by talking about a sink with a bar of soap in the bottom after they have been the ritzy. We have first hand experience of this natural phenomenon, the scary thing is it worked.
• The bloke selling lighters in Birkenhead. Oh and he sells those punching balloon things that rattle.
• the doog : "yes sir,david bryant sir" The last time i spoke to the doog he'd been playing cricket with Ian botham in the brom hotel and that explained the broken window.
• the doog, still going strong, although slightly hunchbacked,disco/dancing dave, we all mourn his passing..........anyone remember ken the gambler?
• The Doug is alive and I have actually seen him a few times in the village, wait for it....sober! I actually feel quite sad when I see him cos he really looks unhappy and old these days. He lives in a hostel by Knowsly Court flats apparently and gets a fiver a week pocket money (about enough for two bottles of 'Merrydown'for the poor old bugger
• The Doog:is defiately alive and well and living in a hostel near the Crosville bus depot in Rock Ferry.I know he's alive 'cos he tapped me (as usual) for a fiver.There was a rumor he had died but totally untrue,he has been ill and the years of living rough have taken their toll he now looks very old.LONG LIVE THE DOOG (THE MAN WHO WOULD GET WHERE WATER WOULD'NT)
• The Doog was fantastic and I am sad to hear of his passing. I was accosted by him on the 41a bus many years ago. He used to shout about how he could have played for Liverpool and was always shop lifting out of the chemists on the high street (Temples I think it was called - maybe still is)
• Anyone from bromboro; remember the Dood?
• Couldn't believe the Doug got a mention on the Net!!!
• Dancing Dave or 'Disco Dave' to others has now passed on.
• I think to Doog has been ill, he's not around anymore
• The guy who hangs around outside the Post Office (Nelly is his name) hassling people because his Giro is late. Will always sing you a song accapella if you ask nicely.
• "The Doog" is our local drunk and psychotic and then theres Dancing Dave (Again don;t ask) - they are good for a laugh.
• There is a bloke who graces Bromborough Village with his presence every day accompanied by a bottle or two of cider, his has acquired the name 'the Doog', he actually has gross amounts of money left to him by his mother which is ironicly or unfortunately the reason for his demise from his seemingly normal life.
