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.

How do I know all of these?Am I a nutter collecter? Because I have lived in Winchester, London and Guildford, and have seen most of the people mentioned in those parts of the country....
my favourites have to be:
The puppet guy in Guildford. Once he was seen in the friary shopping centre holding a bulb over his head shouting ' I've had a bright idea'. and another time holding a tyre yelling 'I'm a little tired'
Sinner Winner Man: I too have seen 'don't be a sinner, be a winner' in sunny Oxford street.. However, my fave has to be when I went to see the Manic Street Preachers at Wembley, and he was outside the tube station yelling 'Jesus was the original Manic Street Preacher!'
good grief....
However, originating from the delightful town of Alton, we have more nutters than you can shake a stick at, such as:
The man who wears short shorts all year round because he says he needs to for medical reasons...
The guy who, if anyone in any shops asks him for a loyalty/credit card, goes on for about 20 minutes about plastic being evil and satanic. He also refers to Petrol as 'Satan's Milk' which he wrote all over the petrol pumps at my local sainsbury's
