canvey island weird couple

[pusskin]

I just couldnt make this up if i tried ----imagine ---

sitting in a cafe today near a big store eating and drinking, an elderly couple walked in .
Imagine --fairly tall man, needing a shave and a wash ---cut down denim shorts ragged around the edges--wearing white plastic ladies strap sandals --- and black TIGHTS !!! he walked like an old man too, and seemed a nice enough ole boy while chatting with (maybe) wife. He was freaky, and never seen nothing like that before, lol it sure gave us a chuckle

[emmie]

you don't live here, no nothing surprising about that.

[pusskin]

ha ha i wish I had of had a camera! Do you live in canvey em10?

[Euphemia]

It takes all sorts!

[Quassia]

He was obviously quite at peace in his eccentricity pusskin!

[Quassia]

I love eccentric people ... shows a complete disregard for what anyone else thinks :0)

[pusskin]

them type of people fascinate me, but this was so unreal. not the normal transvestite look that you would normally see on the tele

[sandyRoe]

Apart from their clothes how else were they weird?

our excellent 'do everything' welshman desperate for cigs while working in river; ran off to Tesco in wellies, wetsuit & d'ters hoody.

An Essex girl is driving along and asks her boyfriend to kiss her somewhere warm, wet and smelly.

He tells her that it's to late to drive to Canvey Island.

My Grandmother had a caravan on Canvey Island for 25 years.
in fact her and her husband used to own large lumps of land on the island in the 1950's. Now sold and with a street of houses on it.
Anyway had many a happy six week school holiday on Canvey Island.
Nowt like crab fishing as a kid up the sea wall and catching toads in the lakes.
oh fond memories of Canvey.

[pusskin]

well, it was the clothes really that done it. Weird in a nice, not nasty way

[SIRandyraven]

The casino and the Wild Mouse and penny slot machines, Parkins Palace ...
The ride on horses outside the casino.
Remember the bumper cars , dodgems and the little boats that went around on the lake.

Did he have a humpy back? Or stoop? I think I've seen him.

My nan used to live in Benfleet( just across the creek from Canvey), and when I was a kid -many moons ago-I spent many happy days cockling in the muds of canvey creek. We used to get buckets of cockles, take them back to nans, wash,cook and eat them with loads of vinegar and pepper. Those were the days!!!!

[pusskin]

you think you've seen him notafish? In canvey, haha, dressed as a sort of woman?

[pusskin]

I have lovely memories of canvey too when me and a pal and the kids had a week in her parents caravan. lovely place when the sun shines

[whiskeryron]

I do hope you got some satisfaction from your comments, have you thought that maybe they couldn't afford any other form of dress.Ron.

[Marijn]

I have lovely memories of Canvey too. I saw the man in Southend. He's very odd because he's not trying to look like a woman. He looks like he just picks up whatever happens to be on the bedroom floor and just sticks it all on regardless.

[mumsie_wumsie]

my sister and her family and my dad live on Canvey now. they love it and wouldn't want to live any where else;-). And NO it isn't my dad that you have seen pusskin.....
