No, lived in the North West for years though. My friend talks about a local 'bogeyman' called Purple Acky (or Aki?) and I wondered if anyone had heard of him!
Found him! In Wikipedia too he's been banned from Warrington. Also from 'measuring people's muscles' and 'asking people to do squats'! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Aki
As mentioned in previous post. A Scouse friend was on about him and I wondered if he really was as notorious as he was being made out to be. Seems he is.
