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.

Cat ManAround the streets where I live you'll often see Cat Man, sometimes he'll be dragging his feline about on a leash other times he'll be discussing with it which food to buy at the local supermarket.
Ahh a sad old man that loves his cat I hear you say, but no he's quiet mad and legend says that on demand he will show you that his cat can write....
When we were younger we stopped him one day and sniggering asked to see his cat write. All we were expecting was a torrent of abuse from the old man with possibly some mad fist waving thrown in for good measure.
Instead he showed us!
Holding the pen to the bottom of the cat's paw with complete sincerity he wrote 'Mr Cat' on a piece of paper.
Suddenly this wasn't as funny as we thought and the situation was rapidly getting 'weird' the breaking point was when he went into everything his cat could do and that not only could it write but it was ambidextrous, we quickly left as he started writing with the cat's other paw.
