There is a man dressed up as Ronald McDonald walking round my city.

I'm used to most odd things as it's a student city. Can't work out if this is a bit of fun or really creepy. He's pulling out a toy plastic trumpet and standing next to buskers miming them.

We get all the bonkers people in Nottingham lol ... went for a spa day last year and there was a cos play convention on in the hotel - hundreds of amazing costumes lol 😆

Nottingham has a history of this you've just unlocked some memories for me lol

Used to see the guy dressed up as a cowboy with the fake parrot on his shoulder brandishing a cucumber but I think he died a few years back

Bristol used to have Stan The Man. He was usually dressed in a pair of gold budgie smugglers and roller skates.

@tallsmallmum do you remember xylophone man?

There is a man where I live who walks to the shops in various onsies. I have seen him as batman, superman, flash, a minion, hulk, beetlejuice etc he is completely harmless. Live and let live.

I remember him. I used to work in HMV on Lister Gate, and he was always there by C&A. Nice old boy, perfectly harmless.

Creepy. Clowns always are.

Apparently he's protesting against celebrity chefs now...

Maybe he was harmless. Clowns aren't though . They're evil bastards. I would support a clown cull.

Yes that's him!! So happy doing his little flourishes on his xylophone! He wouldn't recognise that strip of empty shops now

Blimey, he's got his own Wikipedia page! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Robinson_(Xylophone_Man)

I can't believe it's been so long since he died

No way!!! That's so sweet! I've never noticed a plaque. I'm going to look for it next time I'm in town

@DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy he has a plaque on the pavement as well.

Cross post!

I'm so glad he has such recognition. A trip to town wasn't a real trip to town unless you heard/saw the xylophone man

One town in north Norfolk has frequent visits from Spiderman. It's been a point of ... much discussion.

South Wales has a guy that wears a loin cloth type thing and carries a cross ( on wheels) He apparently walks between Newport and Cardiff. We also, in Cardiff, used to have Toy Mike Trev who used to sing with one of those toy karaoke mikes. RIP TMT.

We have a chap who dresses up as spider man. Someone decided to be a grumpy arsehole and tried to stop him, but our local Facebook page told him to keep doing it because the kids thought it was awesome.

In Manchester we have hit that cycles rounding with a ghetto blaster on the back playing the tunes

In Liverpool we have cardboard guitar man...he 'plays' a cardboard guitar while 'singing' but he has an amazing selection of themed suits - batman one day, Minions the next!!

In the 80s Wolverhampton used to have a very full on cowboy. Chaps, a stetson, the works. He carried a very loud boom box. I often wonder about him still.
