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.

Erection manMy Mum has worked in lots of local shops, and can reel off literally hundreds of nutter incidents. One of her most memorable nutters was Erection man, so called because you would walk past him to fetch him whatever he wanted and, well, he would get a bit over-excited, and then say "oooh, sorry, that KEEPS happening" Anyway, one day when she was working in a second-hand/junk type shop, he came in and decided to purchase an old Sony Walkman (minus any headphones) for the princely sum of £1. Only he didn't have a pound, he only had 38p - which he left as a deposit, demanded a hand written receipt and returned the following day with the outstanding 62p!
