20 Problems Only People From Sunderland Will Understand

15. Dave The Rave

For many, merely an urban legend invented to scare first year university students into behaving on nights out. To others, probably the most iconic face in the Sunderland nightclubbing scene. Dave The Rave's origins have never been conclusively proved - he's like The Stig in that respect - but he can still be seen all over the city, night or day, dancing the blues of complete strangers away. Chances are you've had your photo taken with him, some of you might even have bought him a pint (of water), but at the very least you'll have stood with your mouth agog at least once as he raves his way across a sticky dancefloor.
