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.

Tony Beep BeepApologies if anybody else has already posted about this fellow. (I've not read 'em all yet!)
In the Old Swan area of Liverpool, there is a busy road junction which was frequented by a gentleman, in his forties known only as Tony Beep Beep.
He would stand on the traffic island with a carrier-bag (contents unknown) and shout 'Beep Beep' at the passing cars. Motorists would pap their horn twice and receive the thumbs up from Tony. It really made his day when people papped their horn at him!
The first time I came across him, I was dropping a friend off, who lived near the area and I commented on the amount of people papping their horn up ahead. My friend replied "Ohhh, you've never seen Tony Beep Beep then".
I beeped and got a thumbs up from Tony.
