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.

Corn ManTheres a guy in Lancaster who, at seemingly random times of the week, goes around putting little piles of corn in corners. To this day I dont know why. I thought at first maybe he works for the council or something, and the corn contained pigeon pellets, but then it dawned on me that Ive seen him doing it at about 3am before now, not what you would consider normal working hours... and he doesnt have any sort of uniform either. He just seems to wander round in scruffy clothing with a big fuckin rucksack on his back, filled with corn. The other thing I noticed was that he doesnt put corn in places you would expect to find a lot of pigeons. For example, I once saw him making a neat little pile of corn in the corner of someones garage doorway down a little sidestreet. If you were after pigeons, surely it would be more logical to put piles of corn in the town centre? but I havent seen one there yet...
My conclusion: Complete fucking nutter.
