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.

In Dartford......we had our fair share of nutters. There was a man nicknamed the Crayford Doodah who had a really long beard, was bald and skinny as a rake. He used to ride around town on his bicycle and God help you if you made eye contact with him. Even a sideways glance caused him to stop and hurl a barrage of expletives at you, which would continue until you disappeared from his view. There was also a fairly young woman who had an imaginary child who used to hang around by the bus stops, getting an incredible amount of abuse from school kids. She used to walk a short way then stop, turn around and call for her 'child' to hurry up, beckoning him or her with her hand held out. Tragic really. There was always a steady supply of tramp fights / drownings / torchings in Dartford park.
