Local record bod nicknames

[Saint Jude]

Have we done this before?

I'm assuming you have nicknames for the various record buyers you see around town/boot sales?

My local ones include:
Reggae Man & Lurch (work as a team. Nice blokes, so I am a bit guilty about the nicknames)
Polish rock bloke
Col's Nemesis (only see him twice a year)
W.B. (stems from him referring to a portable cassette player as a 'w*g box' to astonishment from all present)

There is also the mythically elusive 'Fen Elvis' (Col I have a lead on F.E's latest location. Drop me a text/give me a buzz and I'll fill you in)

What are yours?

Up here there is the legend that is 'Solar Powered Lady', Ian managed to get a sneaky shot of her when he was up here for Byker groove. You also have 'Polydor girl' (Formerly known as 'London Lady').

From the top of my head:

Metal Martin
(the name gives it away really, see him in the shops alot lives in a remote farm and the legend says had the police shut one of his solo practice sessions down)
Creepy antiques guy
White bearded man I saw being eerily friendly to a friends dog a few times. I know he checks the same Junk Shops as I do.
The mustache guy.
Also an Antiques dealer who got into a fistfight over a "ton steine scherben" record
and then theres this rockabilly who always arrives right before I leave.

Not much for nicknames I am afraid.

I know one local record shop owner refers to me as Weird Box Mark because he used to collect everything that he couldn't categorise into one box and put it to one side for me. I got some great stuff from my weird box!

Ha Ha...You got a double dose, you got the pleasure of seeing them both at the same fair, what a treat!

Other than The Record N*zi I can't think of any.

Other than we also have Polish Rock Bloke, the possibilities are not so much endless as tasteless.

Anyway TRN is more an asshole than a n8zi but he spent years trying to sell an lp of Hitler's speeches at top dollar.

[Sonovox]

Blue Anorak (can spot him a mile off, he's only after 45s)
Time Train Two (local junk shop owners after stock)
Dave Spikey Clone
Pink Mohican Man (after punk, natch)
Matrix (wears a long leather trenchcoat)
Disc A Dawn (welsh bloke who is nearly always there first at the booter)

[Campag Record]

We also have...

Rock n Roll Dave aka Mark Lamarr
Immaculate Dave
Interesting Lee
Cockney Steve

There used to be a feller we saw at record fairs who looked like a hairy Yul Brynner - he had a long pony tail and a Fu Manchu moustache. To complement his exotic features, he wore winklepickers and a tartan jacket with a sheepskin collar, so we called him the Rockabilly Mongol. There is also a guy that seems to always be a charity shop ahead of me, so I think of him as 'The Early Nerd'.

Please expand my mind on this one Sie - how do the two halves meet?
