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.

Sydney nutters...and believe me there are quite a few...
my favourite two are
1) the beggar who is often seen in the area of various major railway stations around the city (usually North Sydney, Bondi Junction and Martin Place), who stands there with cap out muttering unintelligibly to himself, and if you go anywhere near him breaks out in a case of Tourettes.
2) the bloke that looks somewhat like a transvestite Moby, often to be seen in the Bondi Beach area, with spiders webs drawn on his face with black makeup, talking to himself very loudly as he walks along on his high heels.
also worthy of mention is Carrier Bag Man, who squats by the side of the road in O'Brien Street in Bondi for hours on end (either that or he can tell when i'm about to pass on the bus), never moving and never without his collection of carrier bags.
photos to follow if i see any of them before the question closes.
