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.

Every day on the way to college (Ridge Danyers in Marple, Stockport), A guy we nicknamed Mr Smiley got on the bus. He had this constant fixed absofuckinglutely insincere smile and used to sit there going "ohdearohdearohdear" in a whispery high pitched voice.
He occasionally mimicked the sound of the brakes on the bus, going "Ffffsssshhhh" every time they applied.
I miss him.
