Over the last 20 years, a strange phenomena has frequently crept into the ale houses of sleepy Alnwick. Time has no bearing, and none of the ale houses are free from the menace that strikes, though The Fleece Inn would appear to be the main watering hole of the Alnwick Bare-Arsed man. This creature, which poses no threat to life or limb, has, on numerous occasions, taken to performing karaoke and playing pool whilst in an undressed state. Most recently seen standing at tables in Oscars, Bar Zanz and the Squash Club, wearing only a wry smile and drinking Guinness, the Bare-Arsed man is fast becoming an icon of humorous innuendo. This shy creature, when approached, will resort to bare faced ignorance of the situation, and though many have seen it, all refuse to comment on it for fear of being ridiculed.
