Let's have a funny story. by Lord_Lucan 22 Mar 2017 16:59
I was talking to a bloke in the pub some time back and we were swapping "local characters", he was from Norwich. I mentioned to him that I was aware of puppet man but he said that the best one was Marigold who used to direct traffic whilst wearing Marigolds.

Anyhoo, most people just ignored him and waved but one bloke fell for it and drove his arctic into some crazy dead end and got stuck.

Incidentally puppet man announced his retirement and all the market stall holders had a whip round and raised a couple of hundred quid. Puppet man moved to Yarmouth but didn't like it so was back in Norwich again the following week - £200 lighter
