Everywhere 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.

That was completely empty apart from one other occupant, an old rastafarian man who was conducting a conversation with his reflection on the other side of the carriage.
I say "conversation"; one half was venomous Jamaican patois, the other consisted of one word - "warlord". Thus:
"Who yuh look at? I cut yuh rass, bloodclaaat!"
"Warlord."
"You tink yuh hard, yuh fuckin' bumbleclaart?"
"Warlord."
I got off at the next stop. Double quick.
