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.

Bath typesBath is full of nutters. Most of the West Country is, in fact.
One example. I lived in a house with no back garden, and as it was a very old Georgian one, a strange kind of brick landing over the cellar lead to the front door. One gorgeous day, I decided to sunbathe, so had my body on the landing in the sun, but my head on a pillow on the doorstop just in the shade.
And old lady goes past. Stops. Turns towards me. Then points. Then slowly shouts:
"IIIIIIIII SEEEEEE YOOOOOOOOUUUU"
Then reverses the above process just as slowly and walks off again. I burst into hysterics, and it became a much-bandied phrase in my house. Crazy lady.
I bet there are more from Bath, because if I had time, I'd list THOUSANDS.
