Does anyone else remember this chap?

I never knew his name, or spoke to him, but I always used to see him when I did my little round--Virgin Megastore, Forbidden Planet, Rod Argent's Keyboards, Games Centre in Hanway Street--hardly ever buying anything, just looking at all the things I would afford if I could. He stood there, rain or shine, outside Tottenham Court Road tube station, a human advertisement for his way of life. Delenn would have called him a true seeker. He may not have had much passion, but he had the courage of his convictions.

I'm glad I was able to find him so easily on the net. He deserves to be remembered.

I remember him well. I knew of him before I first saw him in real life. 'Twas quite a thrill!

Gods, yes, I do! You are right - so many people must have seen him over the years, it is good that someone made an effort.

I saw him from time to time when I was up in London.

I remember him, too! A great British eccentric.

I remember him well - those were my old stomping grounds as well; he was pretty much a fixture.

I remember him! Unconsciously, I still look for him when I'm in central London.
