Mad John is/was a nice guy, and local people did give a shit, most certainly. You would only call him "mad" John to distinguish him from any other Johns, otherwise you would just call him John to his face.

oooooo is there a thread about me??? in capitals??? [goes off to look]

SOUTHFIELDSBIRD · 15/03/2010 09:25

I do call him John...prono, yes it is just a (bad) way to distinguish him from other johns.

he is loved

'Barred from both pubs in Southfields, it is worth a fiver to see the management try to get him out when he comes in shouting "I?m not a bad man" and then tries to shake everyone?s hand.'

hmmm loved

yeah right
I must have a different definition of love

'the death of his mother sent him over the edge'

had anyone tried to help this man?

This thread is offensive and I have asked for it to be pulled. Sorry for the upset I have caused.

controlfreakery · 15/03/2010 09:52

your posts or the responses to your posts are offensive (in your view)southfields??
like someone else said, calm down love.

SOUTHFIELDSBIRD · 15/03/2010 10:02

Its my fault, I have started the offensive thread. I'm the offender. Cant be more clear I'm afraid. I deeply regret upsetting other posters.

Gosh how weird. Southfields being mentioned in Sleb Twaddle. Hello to the Mumsnetters who are local to me!

doozle · 26/03/2010 23:26

Southfieldsbird, you are getting a hard time here!

Hello to the other Southfields mumsnetters.

CatJosephine · 26/03/2010 23:28

I know. It is odd.

doozle · 26/03/2010 23:31

Had no idea that Mad John was so famous.

Elsyyyy · 12/01/2020 00:15

Hi, I know this is literally 10 years old but Mad John has died this week. There was a memorial service for him 5pm today at Southfields Station. Hundreds turned up to it, I’m not sure if you’re aware or if you’ll see this but it’s worth a try I suppose

Footprint12 · 12/01/2020 03:58

Well I’m on here and I know he passed away this month and may he RIP

longwayoff · 12/01/2020 07:35

Oh mumsnet. What's happened to you? Dire.

Aridane · 13/01/2020 21:51

The memorial service took place at the weekend

jacquijac · 16/01/2020 12:55

FYI John has passed away. And people really do give a shit. The memorial for him at southfields tube station was packed and almost 900 people have joined a memorial fb page. www.facebook.com/groups/856436898127765/
