    Crazy woman who hands out pamphlets, assuring people that "it is not too late for salvation", and attempting to recruit people to church.

    I read something somewhere about her being sick and/or leaving (might have been one thread on the St. Andrews myspace group)

    Haha, Mrs. Ross, legend! Well known throughout the town. Above explanation was pretty much right, except that she frequently tells you you'll go to hell if you don't take her leaflets too. Think she's Gospel Hall church, a real fundamental Fire 'n Brimstone old bird. Nicknames included Holy Anna and Holy Banana.

    I haven't seen her around for a while, but that's because I've not been back in a while. But I've not heard any reports of her leaving. I'm sure she's lurking somewhere.

    Mind, she is but one of a whole variety of faces around the town that everyone knows. It's almost a real life League of Gentlemen!

    Life would be very boring if everyone was alike.

    I haven't noticed her around at all in the 2 years I've been there.
