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.

My old stomping ground, used to be in Exeter.Exeter has some very unusual cases.
1. A fat, bearded man who dresses in full 'Little John from Robin Hood' style outfit including green tunic, brown leggings and pointy boots. There is a huge money bag purse on long strings hanging from his belt on there used to occaisionaly be a very big sword there as well. Whether he still uses the sword, I don't know. This man does, however, know an amazing amount about guitar building and is rumoured to have once made a guitar for Elvis (He used to live in america), or so the guys in the Manson's Guitar shop told me. Unfortunately, nobody knows if this is true.
2. A fake policeman. This man used to dress in a Georgian style policemans outfit, complete with shoulder cape, and ride around on a very old, but shiny bike. He had a huge moustache and was always smiling. He once appeared in VIZ, in a 'laughing policeman' competition!
3. An old tramp, who carries about ten transistior radios and sits for, hours at a time, tuning them all into the same thing and arranging them around himself. Go figure.
A nice town, Exeter.
