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.

Ealing is classicIf you have lived in Ealing for more than a few minutes, you notice an incredible amount of nutters wondering about.
'Harry' is my favourite. He is a middle-aged man, probably schizophrenic, and when his 'other voices' talk to him, he shouts to himself with his hand by his ear as if holding an invisible mobile phone. My favourite repetitious phrase was 'I'm one man, on one mission, against the whole of West London'.
Why don't his carers give him a broken mobile phone, then he could integrate into society un-noticed.
Ealing also features:
* 'Mad rastafari', dresses kinda like a rasta, and stares wildly at people while ranting. Best ever was seeing him with his nose pressed against the window of blockbusters, ranting at those inside. I went past him, came back 4 hours later, and he is on the INSIDE of the same window, ranting outwards.
* 'Crying boy', who is about 20, & approaches people for money whilst unleashing crocodile tears (not the song.) Always gives the exact same 'Lost my mates, dont have money, dont know where i am' story
* 'Shit eating gambler'. An offensively smelly woman who has brown stuff round her mouth, and begs for money with a hand full of lottery tickets.
* 'Tourettes kid'. He has Tourettes.
