This is a question Local Nutters

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.

Crazy old rocker.
There's a crazy old guy in the Uni of Herts metal/rock/alt nights. He always wears the same denim jacket and jeans, and whenever a song he likes is played he starts goose-stepping around the dance-floor like a cider-addled Nazi.

==============

For a while I got nicknamed "Psycho-Magnet" for my un-nerving ability to wind up having conversations with whatever psycho/crazy guy/wierdo/mad tramp that happenend to be near me.
This was noticed when we were in St. Albans, travelling to a larp event. I was leather jeans and a Guns 'n' Roses t-shirt when some crazy, drunk, geordie guy with no teeth and wearing a beanie-hat just randomly started talking to me about how he though Limp Bizkit were better than Korn. Cue another weird old tramp a couple of rows back joined in, taking the opposite view. I just did my best to smile and nod and was tempted to get off the bus and simply wait for the next one, until they got off themselves.

==============

The was this old tramp in Chelmsford who was quite famous. I think he got nicknamed "Old John" or something like that. Legend has it that he used to be a famous Chelmsford City footballer, but he spent his last days wandering around Chelmsford carrying a huge back-pack, apparently quite confused, muttering to himself and stinking of piss.
Don't know what happened to him (I moved away about 4 years ago) but I heard a sad rumour that he died.
