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.

'Stampey man',used to live in a special home down the road from me. His daily jobs included checking the drains and stamping on the pavement. This he would do by starting off with a gentle tap on the pavement to check it was good. Then gradually get harder and harder until he was jumping up and down on the spot.
His mate 'Smoking lady' was always chain smoking in a very fast pronounced way. She always asked for money for a cup of tea. This was actually to put in fruit machine in local chippy. Was the best thing Monday morning waiting for bus to goto work seeing him doing his rounds.
