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.

BIG SHIRTLESS ROD!Reply to Gronkpan Page 10!
Oh my god! B S R is what we called him! He is harmless but very deaf. My pal paints public murals and was oft cornered by this speciman. Talks shoutily about things and can't hear you reply so just keeps talking. We wondered where he'd got to and hoped he hadn't bought it. Quite a few to pick from in Hobart eh?
Theres also Yoda (named only for resemblance). The old dirty gnomey man with unveleivably bandaged feet. I mean UNBELEIVABLY. And yet he shuffles along at a snails pace.. I saw him on one of those electric scooters once and thought, hooray. But the next week back to shuffling. I saw a lady in St Kilda once push a dolly pram to the park and then pull out a lot of tea-towels from it. Pushed them all draped on the swings and roundabout then trundled them back home. Ahh I love these folks you all speak of.
Sorry for length. First post. overexcited!
