Buskers, Street Entertainers
  • Let's get our facts straight: "the JAPS ARE COMING!!!!" was a term used to wind-up the, now sadly departed,ex-POW and street character JC, not the legendary Tigerman. Also José Martinez aka Spanish Joe is indeed Spanish; he hails from Segovia, Spain. Other notable street characters include Rawman, and Danny DeVito on smack man.
  • Anybody of any character whatsoever - be they eccentric, amusing, interesting or talented - leaves Harlow at the earliest opportunity they are given. This is because, in Harlow, anyone other than white, heterosexual, Sun-reading, racist, Tory, Jordan-fancying, braindead imbeciles are considered dangerous undesirables. Seriously - I got beaten up in the Town park once for reading a book and having long hair.
  • anyone know where exactly Steve Harris of Iron Maiden lives?
  • The biggest local character must be "Tiger Man" he is always in the town centre "the JAPS ARE COMING!!!!"
  • Tigerman, Spanish Joe. (actually he's Cuban for your info)

  • there was a man singing a james blunt song outside fish brothers who was really good, also theres a man who sings streets of london all the time and he's been around since i was really little, oh and lets not forget tiger man
  • Dan Dear AKA Dibz THIS GUY IS THE FUNNIEST GEEZA ON EARTH, HE SKATES AND IS A F****** LAUGH. TIGER MAN he still thinks hes in the war and runs round pretending to shoot people i think hes about 50 sometin
  • Eddy is a regular at Jumpin Jaks - if you even happen to look his way he will be your bestest friend for the whole of the night. Giv him the thumbs up n he'll chuckle to his hearts content. Bless.
