A Liverpool "Legend" has passed

[Straker]

This might be very UK centric so apologies to other members. Yesterday it was announced the complex man once thought off as a myth and used to scare misbehaving children on trains throughout the northwest of England and definitely so in Liverpool has passed away.

No longer will young male train and bus travellers be worried about a muscular man approaching with a tape measure and a fascination for muscles.

I honestly thought his SOPO order prevented him from carrying a tape measure in public but apparently not.... It was only touching people's biceps and asking them to do muscular poses.

So more context might be necessary if anyone wants to watch the BBC documentary about him link below:

I remember seeing the Count Dankula comedic video about Purple Aki. Any death is an individual tragedy, but this one seems very individual.

'Tis said the 'Tape Man' finally curtailed his activities after accosting a group of Young Men.
Oops...
Athletic young women of a certain rainbow disposition, they apparently offered to hog-tie his cojones with said tape, leave him securely bound to train's grab-rails...
