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.

Two of 'emOne in my home town of Harlow. A skinny guy who dressed in army fatigues and who responded to either "Cap'n" or "Major". He'd salute you if you seemed nice enough.
Then there was the famous traffic director in Norwich, who I saw a few times. I heard that there are a high number of Local Nutters in the streets of Norwich because of the historical inbreeding that took place in the area. Very odd.
You know, most of the people I've read about seem to invoke genuine feelings of attachment - like local institutions. They give towns character. Bless.
[Edit] Holy crap, mcnelson, that's the dude! Tiger Man! Pretty cool for a Local Nutter.
[Edit] Greebo - you know him too!
[Edit] Dimitri - ahh yes - when I was there if you shouted grenade he'd either duck and cover or shoot.
[Edit] bennyhillslovechild - Marigold! That was his name!
