Big Issue? No, Big Tissue

We hope you enjoyed our last Lincoln local piece on Mr Tay the vegan tiger man. If you didn’t happen to catch that ‘roaring’ post then look at this for your enjoyment.

It’s a double dose of fabulous Lincoln locals this week. Let me hear you say ooooooooh.

Anyway, today it’s a very well known character, Big Tissue Man, otherwise known as ‘Baggy’.

If you recall passing a man in the last year with a balloon tied to his head or wearing a clown mask and green wig, it was most likely Baggy.

He was usually spotted on the High Street or at the bottom of Steep Hill, mumbling and asking if anyone wanted to buy his trade mark big tissues.

That is however, until he was given a CRASBO in October. That’s right, a CRASBO. A Criminal Anti-Social Behaviour order. And now he (and his tissues) have gone, possibly because he used them crying when he got his CRASBO. Strangely enough though I never did see anyone ever buy a tissue off of him…

One thing is sure though, if you live in Lincoln and you HAVEN’T heard of Big Tissue Man and his past then something is very very wrong.

If you haven’t had the delight of being intoxicated, fist bumping him and getting a free tissue like I have (no really I have, ask that Gurpreet girl on here if you don’t believe me), then here’s a Facebook page dedicated to him.
