Veronica Wadley and her Knickers...


On Friday night, I was waiting for the last Northern Line train at
Kings Cross St. Pancras when I noticed these young toffs speaking to
this old man with a mouth full of skew teeth and gaps at places with
no teeth, he was dressed in a cheque shirt, silver parachute material
waist coat, and e had a grey beanie on. He also had earphones, half brandished on his head. He has had this long
pony tail, he could be classified as a tramp, a bergie. He must have been in his early seventies.

The youngsters were speaking to him with some mockery in their tone. However this man had the patience to indulge them.

I noticed he had a sign which he put on his beanie.

It really did not make much sense...

The train arrived and he took his two gloves off and carried his 4
plastic bags, I went to go sit near him and the kids.

He went on about a certain Veronica Wadley, but would not reveal who she is and not reveal who he is and what his sign meant, he has waged a campaign against her for 6 months, he says she is not a nice lady and that his structures and campaigns are starting to get results and that Wadley's
associates have taken notice of him....

He and I got off at Camden Town to trek homewards on the final tube towards High Barnet. He would not let me photograph him. He wears this
sign when he sits down but never when he walks around or when he is on
transport.

He is dedicating his life to his battle with Wadley, who, after some
research is the Editor of the Evening Standard a tabloid which is very
critical of the Mayor of London, Ken Liginstone.

He got off at Highgate, one of the poshest suburbs in London which
added to the mystery of the man.

There are quite a few bloggers who don’t know why he refers to Wadley and her knickers and knobs…

He is also known to carry around different signs with quotes about Wadley and her knickers…

Meeting individuals like that on public transport makes for very interesting journeys…

I remember at the beginning of the comedy Keeping the Faith, with Ben Stiller and Edward Norton. that their was this outlandish scene of Ben Stiller trading Rebbe cards as a kid, I thought it was impossible, and whilst funny, in reality, such cards
would never exist....

I thought that this would remain the domain of kids trading football or baseball cards.

I am wrong, while walking past Envoy at the bottom of Golders Green in London, I noticed this sign....

Which card is worth the most? Are there rare ones such as the Rebbe as a youngster?

How do cards become valuable?

What are the categories for the Rebbe cards?

1) Weddings
2) Funerals
3) Bar Mitzvahs
4) The length of his beard?
