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.

And since Rob mentioned CamdenWho else has seen Captain Jesus? The preacher. He wears an admiral's cap with SALVATION written under the anchor, has a Saddam Hussein beard, and stands by a banner marked JESUS IS ALIVE. I like to stand at the back among the crowd he draws and whisper to strangers "What did he say? Blessed are the cheesemakers?" or starting choruses of the Spongebob Squarepants theme. The spookiest thing about this nutter is that he told me God will save my soul if I quit drinking and poisoning my soul. I told him to fuck off. I had barely gone twenty steps when my vodka bottle fell through my plastic bag, smashing violently in Camden Town station's centre.
But anyway, he acts very erractically and changes his opinions every ten minutes. One reason not to be religious for me.
