Do you have one?If so what do they do.
I made this because of finding the terrible news that one of ours has died.
R.I.P Phonebox Phil
[img]http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/object2/818/77/n237069193378_531.jpg[/img]
He used to stand in the high street all day making farting noises and do a chicken dance for 20p. he was called Phonebox Phil because most weekends he would be found at kicking out time searching phoneboxes for change..how he must have hated the rise of the mobile.
Being from a small inbred city we got more than our fair share of them.
There was Disco Jeff who fully believed he was driving a truck everywhere and could always be seen running up a roads changing gear and checking his mirrors
We also have Handsignal Harry who shouts at traffic and chases schoolchilren on his chicken chaser...
I've just moved into Catford (in Lewisham borough of London) and I've had the fortune of meeting the Catford Fritz

Now you..
Local nutter? ME!
I have one who wheels himself round in a wheelchair, doing crazy things. I once caught him doing a wheelie across a road on his way to the shop. Bearing in mind he looks about 70 it's quite impressive.
He also managed to set himself alight in a car park of a supermarket, he was smoking and dropped the cigarette on his alcohol covered shirt (he's pretty much always drunk)
He then proceeded to swear at the fire and ambulance crew
I often find him complaining at the price of milk in my local shop, too, and how "it was much better in his day and didn't taste like cow shit" :v:
Haha can't forget these 2, from Bridgewater, they look like the Chuckle brothers from a parallel universe

Handsignal harry on the right (he was a cunt though). and forgot what the guy on the left name is but he used to talk about random bollocks to everyone who'd listen and pretend he was an MP or something
oh and Bernadette, - Deaf alcoholic plays the guitar whilst singing into a can of K Cider, sounds like a dolphin being molested.
We have a swedish guy that roams around our town called "Periee" he waved at me once and I waved back, The he followed me for about 200 meters... I haven't waved again.

We got a guy over here. He said that he got in an argument with his wife and when he came home from work the house was empty and she was gone. So he is now an alcoholic and drug user. He has problems with the police. He already walked through the streets with his beer before i was born. I still see him walking sometimes.
One time we were sitting at a restaurant and he came to us. He just stood there behind us for some minutes and was drinking and smiling to us. Then he just walked away.
There was one guy I met a few times, he'd always be sitting on a wall or bench conducting music that only he could hear. One time I asked him what he was conducting, but he just smiled, put his finger on his lips and told me to shhhh.
Apparently he never speaks and I was pretty lucky to have got any reaction at all from him.

Gordon.
He's this crazy tramp that's not actually a tramp who can tell the time without looking at a clock.
I have 3 local nutters. Will probably update with pictures if I can find any.
Mad Michael - walks around literately talking to lamppost. Thinks he's in the army as well.
Road Runner - Runs everywhere, insanely fast.
and Data - gets "drunk" on Irn Bru, talks to everything (including bins), and says he has sex with himself.
We have one. He has a dysfunction in his neck muscles so he keeps doing strange gestures with his head when he walks, and lives off collecting bottles and government aid.
During many of me and my friends' drunken escapades around town we have talked with him, and learned about the conflict between the bottle collectors, and how his bottle collecting territory had been taken by someone else. Weird stuff.
Got this guy called Toolman Taylor apparently chases kids with a hammer if they come in his garden
we have 1 guy that just walks around everywhere, we just know him as Tom
In stockholm there's a nutter called 'Munspelsmannen' (the harmonica man):
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfEzZHkybb8[/media]
He holds a radio to his ear and plays the harmonica.
Here's a twist - There's a local nutter because of me. I was biking at the park when I accidentally ran her over with my bike. Since then she falls down and screams every time she sees a biker.
...Oops
Ours lives next door and threatened to roast our cat on a spit
We've got one we call Jesus.
He roams around the same town centre every day, and he has been (that I've been noticing) for 6 years.
We have some fat dude living in a trailer with 4 chicks claiming he's the prince of mongolia.

There's a cult that lives quite near to me that believes that Mount Rainier is full of lizard people
Here's some dossiers on some of my local nutters!
Location: South Wales, Pontypridd.
Subject: Clive Howells (aka, Charlie the Tramp)
Info: Suspected of being the brother of someone on the local council, and is also suspected to have turned down living in manors and having lot's of money just so he can keep living on the streets. Possibly mad. Wears the same clothing always (black gloves, black dufflebag, black coat, black trousers). White frizzy hair like a mad professor and eyebrows that of an owl's. Goes to the same Fish n' Chip shop at the same time everyday to have a burger and chips with a cup of coffee. Sleeping location, unknown. Sometimes spazzes out in the street, pretending to swat fly's that are attack his head or something.
Additional: Frequently hassled by the local youthes. Me and my crew see him as an incredibly awesome guy. Whenever we pass him, we offer him a fag or a sip of lager from our cans. He always politley refuses with a simple quiet "No thankyou boys."

Subject: REAL NAME UNKNOWN. (alias, "Blackbeard")
One of many tramps inhabiting the town. He is unique in which he is the most dirtiest motherfucker alive. Wears the same tatty old clothes, has a huge black-as-night beard, probably a foreigner. He isn't afriad to eat anything, anywhere, even if it's in the middle of a busy street. Travels a lot and far. Has been spotted 10 miles away in Aberdare and Beddau having a pint of strongbow in a pub or two. Elusive compared to Charlie the Tramp.
Additional: Stinks like dog shit.
Picture proof:
(outside Greggs the baker, eating some stale buns that were thrown out in the trash when this picture was taken)

Some guy in town who keeps walking around clapping at cars, some say it's because his wife and kids died in a car crash or something :saddowns:

Only in England :D
I don't have a picture, but there used to be a 22-ish year old dude who lived in the local park. He always wore jeans and death metal t-shirts, and wore a sports visor upside-down and twisted to the side. We called him Gilligan.
I've lived in a college town all my life. Half the residents are the butters and the only time we get some peace is in the middle of summer.

Butters? Fuck you autocorrect
