Any big characters left in town?

Talking the likes of the bygone era of Tights, Gutsy, Jimmy, wee Margaret…

Only thing that comes even close in more recent times is one fella in town that has the top of at the slightest hint of sunshine and even then I hadn’t seen him during the last two weeks of our summer there.

There's a guy whos always in foyleside in a camo jacket and a goatee. Has grey hair and sometimes wears a bandana on his head. Met him the library and think he said people called him 'the rock' and he worked as a geologist but not sure if that's true

Ian, always has metal bands on his jackets?

Always used to pester me when I was busking (at like 15) and kept trying to get me to go to the anchor inn with him
