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.

This doesn't reallylive up to many already posted, but is still a bit odd.
In the Portswood area of Southampton there's a rather short, plump guy who always carries a pad of paper. All he seems to do is wander around waving over people to read the writing on his pad of paper. Obviously this draws sympathy as people assume he doesn't speak english and the paper says "where is the chemist?" or something.
Oh no. It's total gibberish. Pure unfettered nonsense. I have no idea what his agenda is, nor what he thinks it says.
It's more than a little scary when you realise it is nonsense, and wonder whether he's going to try to kill you. Cripes...
