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.

Whats Cooking?Theres a guy in bury who wanders round the place looking generally disturbed, mumbling to himself, and if you say to him "What's cooking?" he actually attacks you.
He was something of an urban legend around my town as a kid, no-one really believed in him, but Me and my mate Nick met him once. He was in boots and Nick bent down and pretended to tie his shoelaces (so he wouldnt see him) and shouted "Whats cooking?", and he totally fuckin flipped out and went for him. A security guard intervened, and "Whats cooking?" ran out of the shop.
There are various stories as to why he doesnt like people saying it. One is that he used to work in a cafe called "Whats Cooking" that used to be near the leisure centre in Bury and that he was fired for having sex with a bacon sandwich. The other that I remember was that he actually burnt his house down with his family inside it (or his house burnt down with his family inside it...). Either way, the guy is not mentally balanced.
My conclusion: Complete fucking nutter.
