• Forthcoming Event, every day, local druggy and drunken scum parade themselves all over town, giving various performances to entertain the shoppers. Guaranteed to of never seen such a varied load of pond life in such a small area. Late afternoon, the police send out comunity officers to entertain as they poor away drink from their open cans while the drunks sneak around them to get in the local shop to steal some more, its like a scene from punch and judy.
• well theres chrissy peach, who loves school kids! but best of all are the couple who drink in liquorish gardens, and always fall out and have o.t.t. arguments, and have an obsession with sex. theyl be easily spotted, cause the bloke looks like the sloth off the goonies!
• All the councillors who waste a increasing amount of our money each year while the town gets worse. How come most of the councilors live in Retford and we loose facilities to Retford that is half the size of Worksop. Half size half the number of druggies its no better than Worksop.
• that weirdo outside halifax with the dog
• oooh theres a guy with a keyboard and a dog, and a guy that does cheesy wire bending frames. Thats bout it.
• A little known fact that Her Majesty The Queen has a private residence in the centre of Manton. She is often seen swiggin cider on the corner of Manton Villas with the local teenagers. She has long used Worksop as a retreat were she can let her hair down. On a saturday night, she is pulling up the flower beds around town like the best worksop resident, throwing them at shop windows and urinating in the centre of the pedestrian area shouting to her friend "Ah Selina luv i needed that".
• Ive never seen him but i hear that they have started making a ploiceman walk in the town alone. Brave man
• Samms and new image! uw ant a shi piercing done wrong and its garentied to fuck up go there the shops suck and so do the local charictors!
• To the asker of the question "how many Big Issue sellers in Worksop". The answer is two and both of them are pleasent lads contrary to what some people say. What has happened to Wilfy Smith ? Also what has happened to Albert tramp who lived in the derelict building close to Manton lodge Clumber park?
• Loadz of scruffy nobs, dont know there names!
• Albert (the only tramp with a continental reputation). Pub land lords - asks underage students (Whose names will not be mentioned) whether or not to serve the big ginger kid wit glasses and a t-shirt depicting landmarks of an American nature.
• mr baker who comes to worksop from retford, he actually thinks he's a king and he orders everyone around- fruitbat
• Pakis.
• The last time I heard someone play a tune in my town, was when I walked past a fat person and they made some sort of squeaky sound from their rear end!
• Local Worksop Heart-throb Adam Daly - Watching him being followed by a endless troupe of young girls, while trying to briskly walk away is very amusing!
• Those two teenage slappers who got themselves pregnant to get a council house a bit quicker. Who said motherhood wasn't a beautiful and precious thing?
• Jesus Joe- nice balls.
• Has anybody been to the tile place, on the Highgrounds Industrial Est. As you turn the corner there are always a couple of guys standing at the doors of one of the units, drinking tea, come rain or shine. (is any work done there)
• The Rose family. Specialists in taking rugby style kicks at your head when you're already down and out. Then (the ones who aren't in prison/out on probation) spend all their time moaning about how their kids have been set up - this despite clear cut camera evidence), how their boys were good lads who were just provoked. The ones that are in prison spend all their time trying to disassociate themselves from what happened, and write excruciating poetry to show how they've been re-assimilated into society. Christ. Meantime their shitty thug mates spend all ThEIR time collecting pennies from 'willing' punters for an appeal (much good that'll do) and threatening anyone who tells the truth. Worksop eh? God, did you see the photo of beer swilling, chain smoking cocksure pidgeon chested dad Rose in the Guardian the other week? Bet that did their appeal a load of good....
• Who's that bloke who is always on Newcastle Street with jet black "Cadfael" style hair and typical 1970's colourful wooly jumper. He stands out as a bit of trend setter.
• they don't bother cause they would probably get there heads kicked in by smack head mantoners!
• David Holmes the man with the netto head ,and world famous nearly man The fat bastard from the big manton villas drives a blue M3 BMW sells drugs to kiddies
• I love the woman on the keyboard and the banjo playing old guy. Fucking fantastic!
• Again, Bridge Street on a Frida night is good for street entertainment
• Haven't seen Wilfie recently, is he alright? I haven't seen him drunk and shouting at any Black people in Worksop town center for a while
• Any car that has a Badcruiser.co.uk sticker on it usually makes me laugh. It's always good to hear Scooter or Ian Van Dahl being played louder than a space rocket. The "fat lad" with red corsa is best think he works at the car shop on Gateford road and has one of those sad car alarms that warn you your too close to his car. Does anyone wanna steal a car that looks like it's been covered in glue and ram raided his own shop.
• THE SECURITY GAURDS OUTSIDE WOOLWORTHS MAKE ME HOUL WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO CATCH THEM SMACKHEADS.
• everyones selling sumets in worksop
• The only entertainment one gets on the streets of Worksop is the varied excuses of Heroin Addicts who really want that 20p, to Quote one fine rapscallian "I need £4 as ive left my trainers on the train and need to but a ticket to Doncaster"
• Well....there are the carpark scroungerd the ones that have the same line every time they come up banging on the car window...........theyve no money and need to get home....and can you help me out.............. you know the ones(kwiksave....tescos carpark etc)
• the old fellor who plays his keyboard and has his dog trapped in a pram and pleads for your pennies by having a big sign telling u that...on a lonely night in scotland he found his best freind....the half dead dog gives u the look that says ..HELP ME!!!

• Watching the dogs in Manton, kilton and Prospect attack each other.
• The old woman with the banjo and the smelly old dog , which could be plastic, oh yeah and the other ones!
• I know they're mentioned so many times - but the couple with the dog and the banjo really have to be seen to be believed!
• The amazing tune (yes only one) kicked out by the the old couple with the dog and banjo are quite amazing. How one song can last an entire day i dont know.
• The old couple with the scraggy dog are quite amazing. Really, they can turn your mind inside out with the one tune. The pan pipe players from the fast show are quite unusual (for want of a better word). Not around as much as they used to be.
• old man with banjo and dog plays mindaltering tunes! pan pipe people from fast show make odd apperience
• There are a couple of people who come to worksop with a banjo and a cr*p keyboard, who are undisputably BAD. On beharf of the other 39,000 inbreds in the town, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell them to F**K OFF.
• Brilliant old guy with a banjo which he strums about once every half-minute. There are others, but I can't remeber them very well.
• Come to birds butchers on the main street. I work there and its cool. Sausage only £1.89 a pound.....
• Has everyone seen the old couple and faithfull dog who busk outside Wilko's every Saurday? They play the same tunes every week, but they brighten up the atmosphere in a strange sort of way.
• Many, put it gives the place warm feeling.
