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.

Southfields NutterJohn, or Mad John as he is affectionately know has been around for years, he used to be a bit eccentric when he was working as a roofer but his mothers death kind of sent him over the edge. He is intimidating but pretty harmless. Barred from both pubs in southfields, it's worth a fiver to see the management try to get him out when he comes in shouting (in a blessedesque fashion) "I not a bad man" and trying to shake everyones hand with his pissy mit. Other gems include: Bellowing at a load of Japanese tourists he was the mayor of Southfields to which they all started taking photos. Sitting in a deckchair in the middle of a crosroads during Wimbledon tennis directing traffic with two ping pong bats. Apearing on the 11 o'clock show when Daisy Donovan asked him what he most disliked about London and he shouted at the top of his voice "THE NOISE". I could go on there are so many, come to southfields and check him out.
