…… “GoldMinger!” – Taken by @SuperluckyDi

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! WHOOP WHOOP WHOOPIE CAKES will be coming your way.

Thanks to all of you that entered, there were so many amazing entries and it was incredibly hard to pick just one.

Next competition will be coming to you in December with a Christmas theme.

Morning, Afternoon, Evening All. Welcome to my new COMPETITION page.

I’ve been receiving a number of amazing photos taken by you guys and thought that it would be fun to give you all a chance to search for the strangest/funniest/most eccentric person that you can find.

The competition will run until September 17th which gives you plenty of time. Please keep the photos tasteful: no children, sexual imagery, disabilities etc… Send the images to my email address secretphotographer@peopleiseeonthestreet.com with name and caption and I will upload onto this page.

17th September – The Competition is now closed.

Sorry if you didn’t get a chance to participate but it’s your fault for being too darn slow. Don’t fret – there will be more competitions in the future.

The winner shall be announced in a few days.

And…. there will be a prize at the end of it. The Competition is sponsored by none other than the yummiest cakey goodness that is

The winner shall receive a box of three great flavours : Chocolate, Banana Toffee and Orange Passion Fruit.

Because the cakes are fresh I am afraid that the competition is only open to people within the UK. Others may still send in funny pics and if there’s a particularly great snap i’m sure that something prizey can be arranged.

Feel free to comment below and tell me which you like best.
Get snapping and have fun!

Taken by @ACmichaelDC – “Thought you’d be interested in Mr. Joe Cool here. I tried being as sly as I could and managed to get a picture of him although he stared at me for sometime. I enjoyed the way he takes up the entire bench without a care in the world with his rolled up sleeves with no cufflinks, he was chillaxing with a cigarette too. I think he may have been to an all night disco and running on no sleep. But I don’t think Mr. Cool here cares.”

Taken by @Mummy_Fitz – “odd-looking girl in Ikea. 6 feet tall, ripped beige tights, brogues, horrifying skirt, ugly cardi. She looked like a man from the back but she was normal from the front. She had the deepest voice ever & she was with her equally giant mother. God, I hate beige. It’s a non-colour.”

Taken by @csk87 – Billy King of the Chavs – “This bloke gets on my bus everyday with his trousers tucked in to his socks always with this year’s must have accessory a sexy Spar carrier bag. This man is an inspiration we could one day own a Spar bag just like him. I was quite annoyed this morning as he didn’t have a base ball cap at a 45 degree angle.”

Taken by @davelee - “Sometimes I see people who just make so many shitty attempts to be cool. The boots. The sunglasses. The hair. The strange hairclipped-up sleeves. Make no mistake, this bloke is a prize twat. And rather fat too. Get them off our streets.”

Taken by Rachel A – “I call him Pa-Pa-Paparazzi though I think he may be one of the more upper class paps, either that or he has delusions of grandeur. He is wearing his trousers higher than Simon Cowell to create the funky half mast look combined with the flat lace ups I think he’s on to a winner. The camera and casually slung bags are great accessories but his trump card is definitely that ponytail. Men…you will go bald…trying to hang onto your hair by keeping a scraggy ponytail is not the way forward, comb-overs are far more stylish and easier to maintain.”

Taken by @ACmichaelDC – “Guy with orange cap and suit. Notice how the cap is just lightly on the back of his head.”

Taken by @ACmichaelDC – “My flash nearly went off on sunglasses guy but I’m not sure what he’s trying to hide behind his large diamond sunglasses!”

Taken by @afslater – “how about the Thundercat on the far left with no top on..?”

Taken by @BruceMW - “Bald Eagle”

Taken by @afslater – “less Alice in Chains, more Alice in Speedos.”

Taken by @BruceMW - “Different day, same bald eagle. He’s going to start thinking I’m stalking him (I am).”

Taken by @SimonNRicketts – “This picture sums up why I love my local pub. Do they say owners start to look like their pets?”

Taken by @SimonNRicketts - “Mrs Pepperpot”

Taken by @SimonNRicketts – “A wig as a hat.”

Taken by @audiocoffee – “can’t decide if it’s warm or cold? wear the jacket half off until you know!!”

Videoed by peneloppy82 – “Mungo The Earth Whale”

Taken by @rbbbbbb - “He was walking to Billy Jean – MJ before stopping to change the track. Man gotz style.”

Taken by @theunitlist – “Keys, wallet, Oystercard, phone, makeup bag – check! Now what have I forgotten?”

Taken by Lisa –
“I saw this gran yesterday and had to get a photo for you.
So you see she’s a gran, you can tell this by her hair, is standard nan haircut. It’s short, oddly shaped and dyed a colour that isn’t natural. Here you see it as orange/ auburn (other popular colours include blue and purple rinse).
And yet look at her bag… Some kind of raver from the 80s type accessory one imagines at places like gatecrasher. It has spikes no less! And an unnatural amount of rubber. Is this gran a nanny raver?”

Taken by Dami – Before he got off the bus he stole my phone, said something about a conspiracy, then got me in a sleeper hold and gun bucked the drive on the back of the head as he tried to call it in. When i woke he was gone!!

Taken by Dami – “Nutritious BIG is alive and working in Sainsbury’s.”

Taken by Dami - “Ermm is that thing alive? I swear I saw it move!”

Taken by @SuperluckyDi – “GoldMinger!”
