Swan_Vesta Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Years ago there used to be the " Mirror Man " who was a tramp who lived most of the time in the concourse of Sheffield Midland Station. Why was he called the Mirror Man? Tramps have never struck me as being afficinados of Captain Beefheart's album Bluejeans and Moonbeams (there was a line "watch out for the mirror man and elixir sue" if memory sreves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he the inspiration for the Human league song ? (I'm guessing not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahonia Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Was he the inspiration for the Human league song ? (I'm guessing not) Very Good:D but it was because he used to talk and swear at the photo machine mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would always try and get served, and whether he had enough money or not, aint no way he was getting anything apart from abuse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanjay Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 The joys of working in city centre retail - I have to put up with them annoying/scaring me at tram stop and then they are even kind enough to leave poo on our goods delivery steps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonJParr Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I was accosted by the 'friendliest tramp in Sheffield' the other weekend when on my way to M&S in town. He's approached me before and in the past I've listened to his spiel about being genuine, not a druggy, down on his luck etc (which never washes with me) and so on this occasion I though it better to cut short his speech and so save his breath. He promptly replied with, "Drop dead." Now perhaps I'm biased but doesn't he deserved to be stripped of his "friendliest tramp in Sheffield" status?

sheff6nic Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 does anyone remember cockney john? Possibly early to mid nineties.He was often the cause of a gathering on fargate, seemed quite partial to collapsing outside boots. accompanied by an ambulance, police car or two. Often seen in a state of collapse with technicolour seat area of his jeans. Southern accent(when capable of talking) and a big beard.When he died he got a write up in the star - everyone knew him.
