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.

Another Gateshead nutterAfter moving from shabby Dunston I moved to the shabby area of Bensham a few years ago (I now live in shabby Walworth near shabby elephant and castle), there is a bloke who sits on the bus (53 or 54) right at the back and talks to the driver all the way from Newcastle and back to saltwell park. Not only is he a mad distance shouty talk type person, if he is not on the bus shouting the driver questions about what he had for his dinner and what he is going to do when he gets off the bus, he is swearing at passers by. He swears like a trouper and sticks his fingers up in a variety of insulting ways at old women, young children but making me laugh everytime I went past and he flicked the v's at me for no reason other than he is a mentalist. He also stand at round abouts to achieve the same effect during rush hour incase he hasn't hit his daily quota of sticking his fingers up at passers by.
