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.

Various town nuttersThey may have already been mentioned.
In Bradford, there is this old guy who dresses in a monks habit and even the old guys in this pub I used to work in claim that he has looked the way he does for 40 odd years.
In Peterborough there is the famous charlie, who lives in a bus shelter and wanders around town. Stories behind him are that he invented the modem, but let his son burn to death so could not stand to be inside four walls ever again.
There also used to be mad tracey, who was a former junkie, but now was tapped and told everyone she is a counsellor for gay people. If asked to leave a pub, she would claim that she was going to get the place closed down. She also used to flash at builders before stealing their pints. She was totally barred from Peterborough city centre, but remained going there.
There used to be this guy called Joss in Stoney stratford, (part of Milton keynes sort of) he was mad, but I cannot really remember what he did. If someone remembers please tell me.
