EccentricsWe all know someone who's a little bit strange - Mum's UFO abduction secret, or the mad Uncle who isn't allowed within 400 yards of Noel Edmonds.
Tell us about your family eccentrics, or just those you've met but don't think you're related to.

Just a quickie...My mother went through a bit of religious patch in the 1980s.
Among the things forbidden during that period were Ghostbusters, Live and Let Die, and Stain Devils. All were clearly Satanic.
Still, at least I got away with buying a corn-dolly on a primary school trip. One of my mother's friends would refuse even to enter the same room as something so pagan.

The one I boughtWas pretty cool. Honest.
Actually, it was more of a sculpure thingy - but "corn-sculpture" doesn't have the same dark overtones, does it?

...You can't see the shirt I'm wearing today.
Actually, you have seen it. It's that ochre thing I had on at Easter. I think that proves my point.
