    What James Joyce did for Dublin, Dickens for London - Sidebottom did for Timperley.

    I love this man and I only just found him then sadly I learn he is gone. Life is one kick in the nuts after another.

      There is a movie based off Frank. Not sure if it would be considered a biopic, but it’s pretty good.

    I know there are serious people who, if made to watch this, would sit stony faced and say it is too silly to be funny. I feel sorry for those people.

      The older I get, the more this type of nonsense humour appeals! I just wish I had paid more attention when he was still around.

    "I bet I could eat two lots if I was watching tele, if there was something good on like two episodes of Space: 1999. I'd easy get through two £1.50's of chips. With a pie as well probably". Quality. Shame old Frank isn't around anymore.

    In the town where I was born,
    Lived a man who sailed to sea,
    And he told us of his life,
    In the town of Timperley,
    We all live in the town of Timperley,
    The town of Timperley,
    The town of Timperley.

    I never quite understood who exactly Frank Sidebottom is; he just kept appearing on my TV randomly. I just discovered there is a statue quite near to where I live. Perhaps there will be a plaque explaining...
    After watching the video: "Tour Guide"? "Estate Agent"? "Bus Conductor"? I'm still confused.
