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.

My mumPretty normal as mums go except when she couldn't sleep she would go out into the back yard and kill slugs.
We had a bit of a slug infestation so I used to think it was perfectly rational to go out at 1am in a nightgown and a tin of salt to melt inverebrates. I don't know if she found it relaxing or she had some sort of secret war raging with our slimy intruders that kept her up. She never used any other method to control them and we didn't even grow any vegetables FFS.
I've never asked about it, but everytime I see a slug I feel a pang of sympathy for the holocaust that took place for about 8 years in our back yard.
