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.

local nuttersWe have a small army of local nutters...I think the area attracts them to the seaside town of Blackpool they all seem to end up here..My favorite is RUNNING BACKWARDS MAN who can be seen doing just that in the town centre. People stop just to watch him running up and down the town centre running in and out of shops backwards. The scary thing is its not even a backwards jog it is a full speed running backward sprint between shop windows. Aged between 40 - 60 dressed in a full length coat and flat cap neatly attired and clean shaven. You can go 3 or four months without seeing him then bang there he is again,first saw him round about 1990 and once twice a year since then saw him again last year..I wonder if he is on holiday and that that expains the gaps or is he on day release on his better days? best time to see him is the run up to christmas never seen him fall or bump into anyone I have seen him bring the town centre to a standstill as people stand agog.
