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.

Jesus. Where To start.I grew up in the Mill Road area of Cambridge, which will, no doubt, be the most of the nutters posted here.
As a brief summary of the ones I remember:
Barmy Art - Wears things on his head
Bonnie (RIP) - Used to scream like a banshee at children, causing my friend to wet himself once...always had a shopping trolley.
Tree Man - Often to be found on my street standing in people's gardens shouting at their trees to stop trespassing
The Cowboy - Used to cycle around dressed in cowboy outfit. Could occasionally be heard to shout yeeehhaaa!
Scary Deaf Bloke - A deaf & dumb chap that in his attempts to blag your hard-earned, merely terrifies you with his deparate mumbling and lurching gait...
more to come as I remember them
