Buskers, Street Entertainers

• clacton is the only place i know where there is a circus entertainer who on thursday, friday and saturday nites can be seen sticking his head up his own backside, he is surely double jointed because some of his 'young' ladies have told me so.
• Still see the local crab man about,dont he run tom peppers as well.
• The Fez!!! lol soz i had 2 say dat. lol. sam is da best of 'em
• There are no characters in Clacton. They are all the same. Thick, low lifes who will never be anything or achieve anything in there miserable little lives.
• who's that geezer who plays chess and beats the waiting hordes of subs
• Billy Higgins- Local wide boy/plastic gangster
• betty - the wierd homeless lady who picks up fag butts from the floor and smokes them chess man - the guy in the local market who chanlleges any one to a game of chess normally for money

• tramps, smackheads and crazy folk..entertaining to look at (by look at, i mean chase..)
• The ancient woman with the 1960s breast implants that struts around in high-heels and often wears yellow and big Jackie O sunglasses. Alas, I forget her name!
• There's plenty of nutters to watch for entertainment. Theresa really old woman in Clacton, probably the oldest woman who walks round picking up fag butts and mumbling to herself, she has lots of different names. Times to find her are usually afternoons.
• Jon Planet break dancer extraordinaire
• loads of characters and loonies in this town. They can all be found on a friday night drinking and dancing like absolute twats in Fibbers! hahaha!All twenty of them.Beware you dont get sucked in.
• Loads of homeless junkies all desperatley trying to sell Big Issue everywhere you go.
• None, clacton is not cool enough to have such people. but we do have a large collection of refugees who vacate the Royal Hotel and many of these Asylum Seekers have the cash to go to the pub which i find weried.

• who cares get a job
• A couple of Big Issue sellers, but they can't even pronounce Big Issue clearly, so everyone tells them to fuck off.
• Whenever walking down a street in Clacton (perhaps having returned to visit your mother after an operation on her gloves) you can rest assured you will bump into someone you used to go to school with. And if you're dead lucky they may shower you in welcomes by saying things like "Oh look, it's that bender from school", or the truly delicious and minimalistic insult "faggot". This is why Clacton has got its thoroughly deserved reputation as being a centre for wit and excellence, not one for being full of moody old tits who dispise those who do anything remotely abnormal (such as drink Irn Bru, whistle the musics from Logans Run or wear mittens).
• A mention must be given of the tourist information office which, despite the theft of nearly all the fliers for "The Laughter Party" and "Richard Digance", has been growing in strength. What a service they provide.
• appear late at night, just throw a couple of quid on the passenger seat!!!!
• There is a couple who beg (not street entertainers) but say they are homeless, there not they live in Flatford Drive, they beg outside Argos and the Saturday market they share the same sleeping bag (so they can have turns each)
• Due to care in the commuinty, clacton boasts some of the most intersteing street entertainers in the world. Be careful though, if taunted they can become violent.
