Local NuttersEverywhere in the world has its fair share of deranged people. I grew up in Wolverhampton and remember the Polish tramp who lived in a tent on the roundabout. Legend had it that his coat was stuffed with cash. More recently I notice the guy who spends his day pushing a trolley round Camden Sainsburys shouting, "Best of luck!". Constantly. Tell us about your local nutters. Points for details. Extra points for photos.

pub schizothere's this guy who sometimes sits at the bar of my local pub. he's schizophrenic. whenever he's there he's just sitting there all by himself having discussions with his alter ego. now that's not so unusual itself, i've met more people like that. what makes him more interesting is that he switches between his two personalities frequently. often he'd be aggressive and shouting swear words for about fifteen minutes until all of a sudden he's pulling a friendly face, mumbling something to himself and then bursts out into the most charming laughter for what seems like ages. in that state he's really shaking with laughter, tears running down his happy face and anybody witnessing this cannot help but laugh along with him. after a couple of minutes it's all over and he goes back to being aggressive and swearing again. never attacked or even touched anybody ever though.
