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.

"The BEST OF LUCK"The guy everyone seems to know from Camden and north London is named Horace. I used to see Horace daily in North Finchley when I worked in a little music store there, Horace even got me a leaving card when I left which had 4 polaroid pictures of himself inside, and of course it said "the best of luck". He also gave me an ENTIRE folder full of crayon pictures he'd drawn....they are marvellous, mail me if you want to see some ([email protected]), or if anyone wants to chuck them on a page I'll scan and send some around (I'm a lazy, lazy man).
However, there is also a dark side to Horace. Spontaneously he'd emit a stream of filth so vulgar it couldn't be repeated, then he'd suddenly be back with you, talking about his shopping or whatever. Local legend had it that a certain word would 'set him off', that word being the name of his twin brother who died early on in life. I won't reveal the word as you cunts will almost certainly bait him relentlessly!
