John has become like the Rhinestone Cowboy: “getting cards and letters from people I don’t even know!”
Here, he reflects on the pitfalls of being a youtube hero; who would play him in a film and being Butlins Jive Champion for three years in a row.
Tattoo John: Fame!
How the hell can an alcoholic bum get so much air time, is the news in the borough so limited that this dole queue alocoholic becomes a cyberspace hero, people need to take a hard look around them, this bloke is one of those who sit around with his drunken mates in Grays Town Centre and in Grays Park spouting abuse to all and sundry, it is about time that he was ignored by those in the media instead of making him out to be some sort of hero.
I don’t see why you’re having a pop…obvious it’s in the public interest as people have spoke to him and bought him gifts after seeing him, obviously taking a liking to him.
The guy’s a character and a funny bloke, I for one hope to see more of this legend.
Looks like the council are running a consultation to stop drinking in and around grays town…
