Title: People Missing this year...Where have they gone?
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on September 26, 2012, 16:56:47 PM
People missing from the prom this year.  . Where have they gone?
Firstly, the flower man, stocky bald guy with a moustache.  Always bought flowers off him and saw him in June, no sign of him this year.  Really missed my bunches of flowers. Asked in Georges about him and they said they also have not seen him for a while.
Secondly, the badly crippled man who comes down the prom selling bracelets, he is usually accompanied by one of his children.
Thirdly, the deaf girls who put sale items on the restaurant tables and a card to explain they are deaf, always used to buy something from them. Have not seen the for a long time. ???

Jacqui. The somewhat brachycephalic flower seller is still regularly plying his trade in Calis. You must have just missed him! The Deaf people are here too, but not as often as in previous seasons.
I have not seen the " bangle man " though.

regards. Farmer.

I saw the flower seller in May. I always find him a little to polished for the prom  ;) No deaf people selling lighters that last till they are out of sight though, I hadn't even realised till I read your post. I can't think of the last time I saw them - a few years for sure.

Well, glad the flower seller is still around, so, he must have taken a couple of weeks off when I was there this time.   Have not seen the deaf girls for a long time though.

The deaf girl is really deaf. My friend is a deaf teacher and conversed with her in sign language. We saw her last week.

Well, Willie Thorne must have been playing snooker from the 10th to 23rd Septemer because we looked for him and asked about him and no one had seen him.  First time I had not had flowers in the house for years, however, took home all the Wedding table flowers and that make up for my lack of bunches bought from the prom
It was a shame we did not see him, I was in the mood to fill the house will flowers and the "flower money" was at the ready every evening.

We were out in August this year and saw all three of these people at various locations around Calis.

yes, we saw them too, the same old Calis characters, only missed our usual mussel man, always shouts "Kenny", in a scouse accent, and Socks, (the perfume man) always there, and the usual rose sellers, pity we are not going back for that proverbial ,last one,  ;)

So next door to the gitarci is a piano bar, and a jazz club opposite?

You wouldn't want to be caught in the middle of all three...

That's not right. Guitarci has taken over all the area around the dick pond. No piano bar there. Oh and we haven't spotted the wee man who sells doughnuts along the length of the beach

I think the idea of a dick pond might do well in Calis.

So, back to the original question then. Where is the "Piano bar"?
Title: Re: People Missing this year...Where have they gone?

I was told that the area now occupied by the Guitar Bar was once a bit of a dick pond.  ;)

I must also say that with many years experience of Calis, I have no idea who the "bangle man" might be :D
Title: Re: People Missing this year...Where have they gone?
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on September 29, 2012, 09:01:16 AM
He is a very badly crippled man, almost bend double who walks with the aid of two small walking sticks.  He has a tray around his neck with bangles.  He is usually accompanied by his young daughter.  I always think its very dignified that he does not beg, but offers something for sale.   Whenever we see him, I always buy a bracelet from him.

Apparently, he used to live in the old  caravan that was parked at the back of the prom near the big car park, but, we noticed the caravan has now gone.

Not seen the flower man you're referring to Jacqui but there is another one. Deaf fella putting key rings down around the bars but haven't spotted the girls this holiday. Not seen the tall skinny guy with the moustache who rides a rusty bike about either or the big big lad who wears this trousers up high and way too short. He often directs the traffic
