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 Kingston RastaI thought I had better elaborate on the Kingston Upon Thames nutty Rasta mentioned by Peet earlier on - his name is Moses and has been around for the last 23 years hanging outside Burger King on Eden Street chatting shit to anyone who'll listen. Apparently (according to Moses) he is the son of a wealthy African Prince and is only here because he is trying to recruit soldiers for his army so he can carry out a coup. He also claims that he owns half of the town but dresses down to avoid too much attention. Wearing lycra short, skateborading knee pads and the top half of a tuxedo all at the same time never attracts attention in my book. Rumour has it that he is a grass for the police but that has never been verified.
