In addition to this, Perry also swears regularly and could not imagine how he would get through life without calling the police ba****s.

-Character Background

Family Background: Perry moved out of his mothers home in Easterhouse when he was only seventeen. As he waited on the taxi that would take him to his new home, he stole his neighbours cat Mittens and promptly renamed him Crawford.

Habits/Vices: He has a number of chronic addictions such as his love of getting very drunk, taking Class A drugs and chain smoking.

Education: Perry has very little (if any) education, owing to the fact that he never paid attention in school and didn't appear for his standard grade exams, thus leaving school with no qualifications.

Personality: Perry swears a large amount and is very nasty towards those that are evidently different from him such as clever and/or well-dressed people.

Likes: He enjoys his Buckfast wine very much and is particularly happy when he receives his ‘giro.’

Dislikes: Perry is guaranteed to be furious if he does not receive his giro, and thus does not receive adequate funds for his Buckfast.
