Town Cryer?

Itsdacraic

What gives with the man dressed up in an old time outfit ringing a bell who has been around town the past few days? He is protesting about solicitors and tesco but I'm not sure why. I didn't want to get too close in case I caught crazy off him.

Probably Three Toe Willie. He's always ranting about something. Nice guy though, for a crazy.

I saw him near Cruises St today, and the last day I was in Limerick I saw him on Thomas Street. His poster definitely says something about Tesco.

Willie always took a disliking to me, any time I've seen him and he's spotted me, he screams "Snake eyes" at me.

He spends his days wandering around town being crazy, you win

Yes, i saw this guy about a month ago, was giving out leaflets with some 'shocking scandal' about some soliciter, flipped it round to read what it was but the other side was all about what a town cryer actually was.

tesco must be his new target, strange - probably good for tourists though

Seen him twice.....
He walks from McD's down patrick street ringing his bell..

His sign mentions corrupt solicitors in limerick city about them being '' legal gangsters' or something similiar.. at the bottom it says something like 'tesco' and ''bigger place'

On a semi-related topic, this being about nuisances on our street and all, where have all the chuggers gone with there lovely clip-boards and there punch-me faces? I haven't seen one of them on O'Connell St or Cruises Street in a long time. I miss being really cold and just blanking them, it was the highlight of my day!!

Just reading this. The poor man isn't really getting his message across very clearly is he?! Something about solicitors and tesco! I must keep an eye out for him in the morning....

I saw him on Wednsday on Patrick St. I also did not bother reading his sign.

I cant remember why I didnt read it. Im going to assume it was because I wanted to spite him for using that medium to get his message across.
