Looking Back: The eccentric and superstitious Bob Renphrey
I am sure that many readers will remember eccentric Bob Renphrey, writes street photographer Chris Porsz.
He can be seen here in my early photo publicising his book 'The Walking Disaster’ outside the Nat West in Peterborough city centre in 1984.
Bob was a bus driver/conductor and very superstitious about Friday the 13th.
He suffered repeated mishaps on that day such as falling in the Nene, crashing his motorcycle and car and even accidentally hitting his wife with a stick!
Afterwards he stayed in bed on every Friday 13th until his death in 1998.
Over forty years later the equally eccentric Morris dancers get ready to dance outside the Nat West *my up to date photo).
