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.

My favourite ever isan old woman who used to live in a house right on the waterfront in Padstow, North Cornwall (quite) a few years back. According to the locals, she was known as 'The Hermit'.
Once a day (usually around lunchtime) during the busy tourist season, she would emerge at her window, scream obscenities, and then throw a bucket of piss over the thick throng of passers by.
We used to sit outside a nearby pub and wait for her to emerge, just to see the ensuing chaos.
