I know the guy-he is indeed very intimidating.
It struck me he was off his head on drugs, shouting and being generally obnoxious.
I have also notice an increase in beggars and drunks in the area in the last couple of weeks.
A beggar outside Sainsburys at the weekend, another under the subway most days.
And two drunks sat on the steps of Weatherspoons early on Sunday clearly off their heads.
