Scores of residents will recognise the face but will not know the full name of this Brigg character.
To many he is just Dave; to some, Disco Dave; to others, Trigger.
Actually, he's David Gregory, a well-known and well-liked character, who has long connections with Birch House, in Grammar School Road.
He can often be seen 'supervising' the town's firefighters, helping in shops and on market stalls, as well as assisting to clear glasses away in many local hostelries in the evening for his favourite tipple, a pint of orange squash.
Dave is a fund of knowledge about what's going on in the town. So now, at last, many readers will know a bit more about him...including his surname!
Our thanks to Ken 'Whistleblower' Harrison for the picture.
Good old Dave! a common sight in Brigg's public houses and a friendlier chap, you'ld be hard pressed to meet. We see Dave, watching life roll by ( sometimes slowly) by the pedestrian crossing near the fire station. I always make sure Dave gets a honk and wave, and i always get the cheery smile and wave back.... He really is a star in the bar and well deserves the "half of coke" He gratefully accepts from us.
