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.

I can think of two local nutters we have around here.The first is a pretty standard gibberish-talker who will relate various non-sequiturs about his day to anybody passing by, even if that passer-by is imaginary. He owns a small boat, which he keeps in his tiny front yard and has probably never been near the sea. He also owns a sheriff's hat with a big shiny star on it and a pair of boxing gloves. He goes out for walks wearing just these items, shorts and sandals. His only purpose on these walks seems to be to practise wearing the hat and gloves.
The second is a guy who seems to have Tourette's Syndrome, which would be fairly boring but for the fact that he only speaks Arabic. He therefore spends his days standing outside his relatives' imported food store expelling vowel sounds at tremendous volume and smiling genially.
