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.

One String & Crazy GeorgeI think he is probably dead, but Worcester used to have an ancient busker who gradually lost the strings on his guitar leaving him eventually with just the one, which he sort of played anyway, though it eventually hung down to his lap. I think some people may have given him money at some point, but can't be sure.
Crazy George was better though, and he really is dead for sure. Whenever any band struck up in the high street he would come along and tap dance in front of them in a waistcoat and flat cap, grinning like a retard. Which, to be fair, he obviously was.
