IF YOU ARE FROM SOUTHFIELDS, DO YOU KNOW IS MAD JOHN IS DEAD ???

[SOUTHFIELDSBIRD]

There is a rumour that apparently he didnt survive the cold weather ! Thank you !

Who are you thanking? The cold weather?

Oh no, I'm thanking the person who will be able to tell me ! Poor man is a legend, I hope he is not dead !

What makes you think anyone on Mumsnet will know? Have you googled?

I have googled and nothing. I was just trying my luck as I know there are some mumsneter who are from south west london !

Can't help you. He has a facebook page that I should imagine would be updated if he had died, it would also be all over your local news. If it isn't, then I would assume he's not dead.

Thank you anyway rhubarb !!!

Yeah, just go easy on the exclamations there ok?

What's Southfields and whose Mad Job :/

Mad John

Click on Southfields.net

Rumours are there, but, last post dated 2nd March say he is alive and well.

i saw him on friday you nutter!

Thank you ladies ! And Sophable, you are so charming .not

I think it was an affectionate "you nutter"
You seem very tense
Are you a regular name changer, or did you come on MN just to ask about this?

definitely an affectionate nutter

it seems you are fairly new to mumsnet as you have used capitals in you thread and not just used but ALL

also you are very uptight and over reacted to sophable

and thenn you went and started a thread about sophable
IN CAPITALS

pleaee refrain fomr crapping all over mumsnet and take a breath

mad john is fine

now chill

I thought he died a couple of years ago. I didn't see him the last time I went.

yes isnt there more things to worry about in your life apart from some tramp the roams the streets you nutter

there's a sad video on there of some guy trying to get him to say 'hello are you from London' it's almost like bear baiting

never heard of him until today.

having had a look a a couple of sights about him

I'm sad to see that he's some sort of entertainment

does anyone actually give a shit about him

there are men and women all over the world living homeless and often get taunted like this, there was one funnily enough called john who lived in hampstead and was often talked about as john the tramp, my point was that the op needs to chill out and not take offence at someone lightheartdly calling them a nutter

so you refer to a man as Mad John but object to being called a nutter? hmm

trinity of course nobody give a shit about him, thats the way the world is i am afraid

I thought that Kooks!

Trinity - I do give a shit about him otherwise I wouldnt be asking. He is a legend in Southfields. He was christened (sp?) long before I moved in Southfields ! The first I have met him, ds was 5 months old and he was crying. John shouted Shut up at us. He made me cry ! Most of the time, he is really nice, saying have a nice day etc..he is quite a caractere.

so sorry southfields if you give a shit what have you actually done to help him? if the poor old soul is dead will you go to his funeral and mourn him? this guy is seen as a novelty, nobody actually gives a shit all they actually care about is laughing at the poor man,
