I heard some very bad stuff that he had done which I won't repeat on here...but I think he's locked up
don't know when this report is from, but he's got 2 years inside https://www.barnsleychronicle.com/article/2122/kipper-jailed-for-bun-crime
Never forget the time the lads had him riding a rocking horse in the pub lounge... a rocking horse that one of the lads fetched in for him to teach me how to ride a horse correctly lol .....I'd only said 2 days prior whilst watching the racing...that i couldnt ride horses because of a back condition which I have...... got to admit it was funny watching him ride it... especially when he went .head over tit on the first rock and one of the lads said.... tha fell et first hurdle kipper..so funny at the time.. im not sure but think it was later that afternoon or around that time he went into barnsley and went into Burtons with a hammer and was rolling on the foor with the shop window mannequin who he claimed was having an affair with their lass ....i can honestly say all the time he was one of my tap room regulars I never had an ounce of trouble from him nor a cross word with him...nor did he ever ask for a slate he always paid for his ale straight away ... everything at the time mid 80s was about him just trying to make people laugh by laughing at himself and not taking anything seriously... Some of the police would see him and they'd make a bee line and single him out because he was an easy target
He actually punched the dummy screaming about their lass.., afta the police took him away he was charged and appeared in court. a small fine was issued to which he asked the judge.." does that mean I own the coit dummy wer wearin"....... Can vouch for the authenticity of the tale cos I was ther at the time..we all pssd ourselves laffin.
That’s exactly what he was doing. He collected the empties hoping to get a free drink, he collected the dead drinks and took them to end of bar and poured them all into one pint pot for him to drink when it was full. He was doing this for quite a while. He once was stood with us in front beer garden of courthouse on a match day mouthing at coppers but not swearing also wasn’t aloud to drink, so he was getting away with getting locked up but giving out a bit of grief also. Win win for him lol
Once saw him riding a bar stool down Market Hill, he could make go as well. He also gave a full commentary as if he was coming through a crowd of horses to win the Derby, so funny. I think he's inside again but also got a long ban out of the town centre.
Someone told me he once threw a bottle or glass smashing the tele in the Central WMC cos his horse lost. He threw all the tiles off the roof a Kendray post office and they had to ask the landlord at Kendray hotel during it’s closed hours to open up an pour a pint to coax him down .
