It had been a long morning for Holly, instructing a class of under 12′s. She loved her job but that age group when herded together could be a challenge, she much preferred one on one lessons. She got paid better for them too. 

She was still dressed in a work out tennis skirt and polo shirt as she mad her way to her local cafe. She needed a coffee if she was going to endure the private lesson she had booked for that afternoon. 

Waiting in line, she was preoccupied with her phone, not realising she’d bumped right into the person in front of her. “Shit,” she murmured, looking up then and giving them a sheepish grin. “I’m so sorry… I wasn’t watching what I was doing. You okay?” She asked, head tilted a little, smiling at the other person. 

After reciting every possible fact about Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, and Fleet Street for the entire day so far, Leigh was in dire need of some peace and quiet. It was a whole routine, including the same old spot that always guaranteed that he wouldn’t be disturbed. That was until someone barged right into him, making him drop his tea right down onto the floor.

“Shit,” he exclaimed, taking a small jump away from the spillage. He looked down himself, though that was hardly necessary. No massive damage. “Think I got off without any severe burns but could’ve got that all over my good jeans.”

It’s-a Leigh!

[ ROBERT PATTINSON. MALE. HE/HIM. ] — [ LEIGH TOWNSEND ] is a [ THIRTY ] year old [ TOUR GUIDE ] who hails from [ CANTERBURY, UK ]. according to their friends, they are [ CHARISMATIC ], but if you ask their enemies, they’d say [ HE ] is [ A KNOW-IT-ALL ]. maybe that’s why [ RED TAN by THE RAVEONETTES ] is their theme song.

So this is my son Leigh. He is brand new to my brain so I’m still getting a feel for him but that’s always part of the fun! Might expand upon this later tbh.

Leigh is an aspiring comedian, although his material hardly ever leaves the home. At most he whips out a potential new joke for his girlfriend who politely deals with it and sometimes even actually laughs.

His mates try to drag him to open mics in various pubs and comedy clubs, but stage fright has gotten the best of him so far.

Although he’s far from headlining The Apollo, he puts his talents on display for all those dear tourists all around the city. He’s gotten in trouble once or twice for letting jokes outweigh any actual tour guiding, but who really cares about getting all the dates right anyway?

There’s also the added issue that he is not particularly fond of his job. It’s hard to be passionate when you're quite literally going in circles every day of the week.

His #1 dream is to be a guest on Q.I. So he’s got his priorities straight and (as you could probably deduce from this) he is a fountain of useless trivia.

His #2 dream is to get a Bernese mountain dog, but he is sadly very allergic.

Leigh carries a kazoo around in his pocket because... why not? He is also That Guy who’s over the moon to discover a guitar at a party and bless everyone with the glorious tunes of Wonderwall.

Also, please bear with my weird assortment of gifs. I’m allegedly working on my own gif packs of more recent films but until those are ready to go it’s gonna be a big ole messy mix of Twilight era and present day. So just... tolerate us, please.
