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.

Just plain crazy guy.Looks like a cross between iggy pop and kurt cobain and see him walking around Edinburgh's old town. Usually topless, even in the freezing cold. The first time I saw him he was in a graveyard on Princes Street kneeling in front of a grave whipping his back with his belt. I saw him again and he was throwing the contents of a bin on a passer by.
Do obviously mentally disabled people count? There's a Mental Home place in Morningside in Edinburgh so you see plenty there. People talking casually about the weather to absolutely nothing, that kind of thing.
A woman I see often in that area looks about 40 was reading cartoon network magazine on the bus and I just couldn't stop laughing when she tried to eat the free lollypop with the wrapper still on.
Does anyone from that area remember toungeman? I miss him.
