  • Shitty soap bar is brought in to the town via a man named Steve, who then flogs his warez of to the smokers. There is a very limited supply of bud in Oswestry. Another character of Oswestry is Nutty Norman, although this is not his real name. He moves speedily around on his crutches, beating teachers at beech grove school, which is a mere strole from his house on college road. Also living on College Road are a crew of three old codgers. I don't know their names but one is always smoking fags, one has a squeacky leg and the other is always talking to himself. Another cult family who live on College Road are The Lee-Trowel's. The father of the family, John Lee-Trowel, is a international superstar dj, who slams out the beats to the crowds at many venues across the town. There are three sons in the family, the most notorios of which is Simon Lee-Trowel. Simon has a fury upper lip. Other cult heros of Oswestry include Spiv, the scagg head, who is usually found following a can of beer. The town has a private school called Oswestry School, which is a haven for characters and strange people. The one who stands out the most is Ben Wilson who is notorious for: spreading rumours about his 7" endownment, letting of a nail bomb in his garage, being a man with the laddies, taking drink of Sunny D of a tramp that was spiked with meths,drinking alcohol in school, distributing Rosemary as Cannabis, and much much more. Oswestry School is also the base of the opperations of a notorious beast. His name is John Harvey. He has made his name for being hard to pin an age on him, you wouldn't know if he was 16 or 40 if you saw him. His courtings have also rasied him to high status. John HArvey makes sure he aims for the most attractive of girls, and his usuual starters are asking for a phone number or an offer of a trebor extra strong mint.
