Alfie Odd Job

[Sixmile]

Seems he's been around a while but only came on my radar recently. Young lad from Clithoroe known as Alfie Odd Job who seemingly carries out odd jobs via his tandem and trailer setup which he abbreviates to T.W.A.T. = Tandem with a Trailer. I've been known to ride around on my tandem with a trailer but never thought of an appropriate acronym and thus probably why he's famous and I'm not Anyway, seems like a nice enough lad and proves that tandems are a rather versatile piece of equipment.

I'm sure he's been mentioned on CC before. 🤔

 

[Gunk]

He’s a cracker!

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for a moment we live?

 

[straas]

Can never tell if he's genuine or a character?

Same here.

Likeable chap though. Good luck to him if he's a genuine guy!

Why cain't he be a genuine character???

Why do we all need to cookie cutter people?

Funny how people on the neuro diverse spectrum are celebrated but those who are a bit eccentric are ridiculed?! 😢

I used to listen to The Clitheroe Kid on the wireless many moons ago.. Maybe a family concern? 🤔

 

[Accy cyclist]

I've never seen him in Clitheroe (I was there today), or when I've asked folk who live there if they know of him they say they haven't seen him either, though some said they'd heard of him. Maybe he stays on that 'rough council estate' on the outskirts of the town and hardly if ever ventures into the town centre. 🤔 🧐

He's still about. He posts videos on social media that i do not have accounts on, seemingly still doing the same thing. If he isn't a genuine character then he ain't half playing the long game...

I say fair play to him. How many kids his age give a toss about cleaning up the their towns?

Who's doing the ridiculing?

I would reckon that alot of what you see is how he acts when off camera but again, when the camera's roll, he knows he's got to be rolling out the quips and be entertaining.
