• Ah eccentrics. So many mutants that I can hardly begin. Floater, I'm a DJ, Howler, Gonad boy, Blinky, Holden, Ethel (still alive?). The Anglesea Centre is just like a scene from Dawn of the Dead, it's horrifying. I have never witnessed such a dense population of absolute freaks, weirdos and molestors in all my life. I am just thankful that I have nearly made it to my thirties without having too much Gravesend inhuman 'interference' as I have lived in this painfully idiotic place for most of my life.
• Smiley the Rasta man, songs and poetry flow from his lips. He's hard to shut up though.

• Ethel: The 90year old woman who used to sit in The Cellar when we were 15. Its 10 years later, the Cellar has closed and Ethel now stalks the streets...pissing herself and sitting in the middle of the road. And do you know why she walks like she does? Well children, many years ago Gravesend used to be a bustling port with many sailors...now, these sailors would be very lonely after months at sea and Ethel...well, she has needs too.

• I found Ethal the local 75 year old alcoholic prostitute giving Claude (glass collecting alcoholic who can be found in many a pub!) a blow job in the Cellar toilets when I was about 17!(13 years ago when Cellar was A. open B. good & C. full of Gravesends finest characters.) It was f*cking horrible!!. I also know Ade Boke who does busking, very nice man and he has got a book of poetry thats been published that is excellent!
