I looked around for a thread like this but couldn't find one.
It seems to be quite unusual, from speaking to people internationally, to have the sort of localised total nutters that seems to be all over Britain. Seems like in other countries these people end up dead, stuck in a mental home, or in prison usually.
I'm not sure if many count as lolcows, but they are definitely capable of providing a short stream of lols for any new person exploring the area.
A few examples from where I've lived in my life.
Traffic Light Anne:
Relatively normal woman as she travelled. Had her hair done up right, nice clothes, walking as though she had a purpose. Trouble was she apparently didn't like traffic lights because she often stalled in her day and would spend 1-2 hours at the traffic lights at the bottom of the road screaming, flailing and thrashing her arms against the ground. She was also known to kick busses, and to attempt to headbutt black people.
Russian Pyjama Monster:
This man didn't do much, just walked an insanely long distance every single day, and so precisely you could set your clock by him. He was about 7 foot tall, apparently a troon. Wore one white glove, one black glove, a giant fur coat, striped pyjamas under his giant coat, bare feet, and a Russian hat with the hammer and sickle on the front.
Every day he would walk 17 miles into the city centre, then the 17 miles back. He never seemed to gain or lose anything either way, but he always carried a small piece of rolled up carpet.
Billy Boy:
The terror of every bus stop in the city. Known to punch people. Best known for spreading bags full of assorted crap over an entire bench, then shouting "Billy Boyyyyy!!!" at passers by.
Molly Ludbrow:
Very normal woman except she pushed a plant pot dressed as a baby around in a pram all day, and would flash her vagina at every white car that passed, and she would just stop and piss in the path while walking to and from work.
Fran:
"Hello, I'm Fran. I am very happy to meet you a person. Let me tell you about how China is sending UFOs to steal our fireworks." Fran either lived at the train station in my home town, or happened to be there every time I was. She had about 200 insane theories that she had to tell to strangers. If no strangers would listen she would stand on a bench in the middle of the platform and talk to a crowd of imaginary people.
These types of nutters seem to walk free all over the country, though they seem to get very little attention. They might now though since Liverpool's most famous local nutter now has his own thread here.
