Yes, it’s Concrete Island all over again, according to the Telegraph, which tells us:

A tramp who has lived in the middle of a Wolverhampton ring road for more than 30 years has become a Facebook phenomenon. Josef Stawinoga, aged in his eighties, is the subject of a fansite with more than 4,200 members. Titled “We love you, Wolverhampton ring road tramp”, the site is dedicated to Mr Stawinoga who lives in a tent on the city’s central reservation. Mr Stawinoga reportedly came to Wolverhampton in the 1950s.

The site’s introduction says: “Apparently he is a Polish Man .. although I haven’t asked him myself as rumour also has it he just growls at people if they get too close! “However .. I don’t know how much of a tramp we can call him as he has a pretty nice set up in the middle of that dual carriageway.”
