Mad Rita, Sale

There's a woman in Sale - let's call her the Suggestive Shouter about late forties early fifties who you would probabaly think was completely normal. The only thing that might alert you to something being up is the speed she walks, arms folded. She shouts expletives everywhere she goes - Sainsbury's etc. I have personally witnessed, "Have a bloody good rub", " She needs a good hard f**k" and "they're all at it".

I don't really know why, as all she really seem to do was talk to herself, but she was VERY scary. maybe it was my age. or maybe the unknown.

mad rita of sale
had (has?) tourrettes, many a peaceful walk back to the office was shatterd by her screeching abuse in my ear. My favourite was when she followed me calling me a "German thingy !" which was nice.

There was this woman who used to offer blow jobs for a fiver to all and sundry in The Railway in Sale. She was about 50 and she had goofy teeth. The fiver was for more beer.
She was spectacularly ugly.
Is this mad Rita?

Mad Rita and the blow job woman are not the same.
I realised when someone said she has tourettes. Mad Rita still goes for her morning paper at the newsagents on Cross St and usually hasn't taken her medication by then. However in the afternoon she's usually calm :Mad Rita and the blow job woman are not the same.

I remember the Mad Rita who was about 60 years old, 15 years ago. She always wore long football socks and could out sprint most kids fuelled on pure hatred. She hung about with a smaller woman with a bobble hat and glasses who was also a bit strange. She often shouted 'look at what my husband gave me' as she lifted up her skirt -apparently showing scabs, but I never looked so could just be a nasty rumour! She certainly stopped obesityin kids back in them days! Should have been an olympic runner!

shops in Tesco, Sale everyday, much quieter these days, was thrown bodily out of H. Samuel many years ago by the manager, but apparently went back for more

Followed my mate Amanda through Sale last week shouting 'Bitch' every five seconds. She was right up close bher so onlookers thought they were together

oh here she is, yep she's still there today. copy+paste from wandering nutter in sale thread. vvvv

there is also another nutter in sale, an elderly lady, about 65ish, i belive she has terets
she can be seen walkin around chester road at the cross rds near maddisons buttie shop.

often shouts fouls language and marches around quite violently and spits everywhere too

You all know her as mad rita but trust me i live 100 yards away her real name is ****** and she does have terets.

Mad Rita was actually another 'Sale Nutter'. Mad Maureen is the lady in question here. She suffered a mental breakdown after giving birth to her third son hence her crazed demeanor

It would seem Sale is a breeding ground for 'Weirdo's' and the like. Their seems to be absolutley hundreds!

These are indeed two different nutters.

Mad Rita was really quite tall (or seemed so when I was about 6), wore long red socks, and what appeared to be a similarly coloured tea cosy on her head. Local lore dictates that she wore the aforementioned head gear to hide the fact that she'd lost all her hair in a house fire. Was known to threaten violence and would often be heard muttering "got a fucking good look then, did you?" if you dared to shoot her even the most cursory of glances. Apparently could be found in back alleys searching for bricks for her handbag.

The other nutter who lives up near Glebelands Road has been known as Sweary Mary, Sweary Maureen etc. I've found memories of her ranting on about her daughter being a total slag (though she didn't have a daughter as far I was aware), and just a general stream of shouty filth. One of her sons commited suicide at 20. The poor bugger.
