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.

Jeanie RatteryIn Perth in Scotland this lady is a real local celebrity. Her antics range from breaking into Victoria Wines to steal 2 cans of Tennents Super, to taking a dump in the middle of the main street in the middle of the afternoon on the last shopping Saturday before Christmas.
Her crowning glory is, however, wandering down the side of the main road between Perth and Dundee with an automatic assault rifle pointing at people who were happily driving by and laughing hysterically. Eventually she got lifted after a few people almost crashed.
Her defence in court?
"It Fell from the sky your honour!"
It transpired a few days leter in the Local paper (god bless those intreppid reporters) that a group of squadies has been travelling the road and that one of their rifles fell out of the back of the open backed transporter. Of all the people to find it it had to heve been dear old Jeanie!
