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.

In the rather small, and generally crap town of Dymchurch ("Children's Paradise"), the local loon is Leo. He can be identified by his love of Arsenal FC (always sporting a shirt), waving at people, especially those on coaches, and also by his completely random spinning. For no reason. He will be walking along normally one minute, and will occasionally do a few spins, then continue walking. He was in the paper recently. Some yobbos beat him up. I think the said paper described him as a "gentle giant".
Also, he once popped up at the window of my friend's house whilst we were having a party. Scared the life out of us. He left, spinning merrily.
