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.

The Laughing PakiI'm really sorry about his name - not my choice you understand (having read through the sick jokes selection I felt I was going to be OK here though).
He was widely travelled throughout Hampshire - definitely spotted in Winchester, Eastleigh, Southampton and Basingstoke in the mid 80s. He was a middle-aged Asian man dressed in funky 70s polyester sky-blue wears, laughing insanely and saying 'you nutter, you nutter' repeatedly to anyone who'd hear him.
I'm afraid we used to follow him around when bored, goading his catchphrase out of him.
He was once spotted crapping off the Itchen bridge in Southampton, in broad daylight.
