This is a question Local Nutters

Everywhere 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.

Crazy Lady
I've seen a couple of really crazy people in the past years, the below ones are the most memorable.
1.
A long time ago I used to go to a local Burger King(North American Fast Food Chain) once in a while. Two or three times, this lady, an old Jamaican and homeless lady would strole in. Immediatly, she would hold up her bible firmly and look around at everyone. Then, after everyone had noticed her, she would begin to sing "Jesus Christ Superstar"(I'm sure you all know the song from the '70's movie.) Except, she didn't know most of the song, so after the second verse, she would just start over. After a couple minutes of this, the manager forcibly removed her. If I was the manager I'd of called the police.
2.
My second experience with the insane happened when I was about 10. I was a member of the Beavers (like Boy Scouts, except for younger kids). We were all taken to a local nursing home to sing Christmas carols to the elderly at Christmas time. Pretty much all the people in the home(a couple hundred) were seated around the stage where we were singing. Everyone was enjoying it except for one old women. As we started to sing "we wish you a merry Christmas" she started to pound the table she was seated at, and pound it hard! She then began to scream "make the music stop!!!" again and again!It was as if it was killing her to hear it. There was such desperation in her voice that I have remembered it to this day. A nurse came along and took her wheelchair away from the table and out into the hallway. I didn't think we sounded that bad.
